I am facing this exception when receiving HttpWebResponse
for my WindowsPhone
app. How am I supposed to fix this. It happens very often but I need to make sure my app doesn't crash if it happens. Please have a look at the screenshot.
My expected response is
Headers:-
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2012 06:41:24 GMT
Content-Type: application/json
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
Keep-Alive: timeout=30
Set-Cookie: ...........; path=/

Internal Server Error:
Json:-
{"status":0,"error_code":1001,"data":{"msg":"Something went wrong. Please try again later. [error code 1001]"}}
It also shows in the InnerException
the message as Specified value has invalid HTTP Header characters.
Parameter name: name
Please help. I don't know why webRequest.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult) is not able to read the response. Is there an alternative?
UPDATE to start the request:
_webRequest.BeginGetRequestStream(new AsyncCallback(GetReqeustStreamCallback), _webRequest);
private void GetReqeustStreamCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult)
{
if ((!ReqIdEnabled || Network.RequestUniqueId == this.RequestUniqueId))
{
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState;
// End the stream request operation
using (Stream postStream = webRequest.EndGetRequestStream(asynchronousResult))
{
// Add the post data to the web request
postStream.Write(_postDataInBytes, 0, _postDataInBytes.Length);
//postStream.Dispose();
}
// Start the web request
webRequest.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(GetResponseCallback), webRequest);
}
}
private void GetResponseCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult)
{
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState;
try
{
//**throws Exception here when my server returns 503/500 and is not caught by the catch block below**
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult))
{
ReadResponse(response);
}
}
catch (WebException ee)
{
}
}
