Question

I'm using the WCF4.0 template -REST. I'm trying to make a method that uploads a file using a stream.

The problem always occur at

Stream serverStream = request.GetRequestStream();

Class for streaming:

namespace LogicClass
{
    public class StreamClass : IStreamClass
    {
        public bool UploadFile(string filename, Stream fileStream)
        {
            try
            {
                FileStream fileToupload = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create);
                byte[] bytearray = new byte[10000];
                int bytesRead, totalBytesRead = 0;
                do
                {
                    bytesRead = fileStream.Read(bytearray, 0, bytearray.Length);
                    totalBytesRead += bytesRead;
                } while (bytesRead > 0);

                fileToupload.Write(bytearray, 0, bytearray.Length);
                fileToupload.Close();
                fileToupload.Dispose();
            }
            catch (Exception ex) { throw new Exception(ex.Message); }
            return true;
        }
    }
}

REST project:

[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "AddStream/{filename}", Method = "POST", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
public bool AddStream(string filename, System.IO.Stream fileStream)
{
    LogicClass.FileComponent rest = new LogicClass.FileComponent();
    return rest.AddStream(filename, fileStream);
}

Windows Form project: for testing

private void button24_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    byte[] fileStream;
    using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("E:\\stream.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))
    {
        fileStream = new byte[fs.Length];
        fs.Read(fileStream, 0, (int)fs.Length);
        fs.Close();
        fs.Dispose();
    }

    string baseAddress = "http://localhost:3446/File/AddStream/stream.txt";
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(baseAddress);
    request.Method = "POST";
    request.ContentType = "text/plain";
    Stream serverStream = request.GetRequestStream();
    serverStream.Write(fileStream, 0, fileStream.Length);
    serverStream.Close();
    using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
    {
        int statusCode = (int)response.StatusCode;
        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
    }
}

I've turned off the firewall and my Internet connection, but the error still exists. Is there a better way of testing the uploading method?

Stack trace:

Answer 1

You don't have to restart the PC. Restart IIS instead.

Run -> 'cmd'(as admin) and type "iisreset"

Answer 2

I had a similar issue. In my case the service would work fine on the developer machine but fail when on a QA machine. It turned out that on the QA machine the application wasn't being run as an administrator and didn't have permission to register the endpoint:

HTTP could not register URL http://+:12345/Foo.svc/]. Your process does not have access rights to this namespace (see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70353 for details).

Refer here for how to get it working without being an admin user: https://stackoverflow.com/a/885765/38258

If you use WCF storm, can you even log-in to the WCF service endpoint? If not, and you are hosting it in a Windows service, you probably forgot to register that namespace. It's not very well advertised that this step is required, and it is actually annoying to do.

I use this tool to do this; it automates all those cumbersome steps.

I also faced problem in .Net Remoting Service in C#.

I got it solved in 3 steps:

1. Change Port of Protocol in all the files whereever it is being used.
2. Run your Host Server Program and make it active.
3. Now run your client program.

Answer 5

With this error I was able to trace it, thanks to @Yaur, you need to basically check the service (WCF) if it's running and also check the outbound and inbound TCP properties on your advance firewall settings.

I had a similar issue. In my case VPN proxy app such as Psiphon ، changed the proxy setup in windows so follow this :

in Windows 10, search change proxy settings and turn of use proxy server in the manual proxy
