Web Response Issues
Permalink   
 

Hi,
    First of all, I am very much impressed with IFBY Phone... Good Works...
Now the problem:
I am in need of getting the status of the call. For this I used normal way of web request/response... But i got stuck in 1 place, where the response is obsolete...

The code snipped i used:
HttpWebRequest oWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(strURL.ToString()) as HttpWebRequest;
HttpWebResponse oWebResponse = oWebRequest.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(oWebResponse.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8))
{
strResult = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
File.WriteAllText("C:\\Save9.xml", strResult);

For a single phone number call it is giving the correct xml output. Whereas if it is multiple phone numbers, the response is not perfect...

Output 1: Single Phone number:
Working properly...

Output 2:3 Phone numbers
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
<!DOCTYPE data [
  <!ELEMENT data (record+)>
  <!ELEMENT record ()>
]>
<data>
</data>

the actual web response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

  <!DOCTYPE data (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <data>
- <record>
  <Scheduled_Time>2009-10-06 14:26:00</Scheduled_Time>
  <Actual_Time>2009-10-06 14:26:18</Actual_Time>
  <Delay_if_Any>00:00:18</Delay_if_Any>
  <Number_Called>8627037335</Number_Called>
  <Result_of_Call>Answered</Result_of_Call>
  <Response_ID />
  <Broadcast_ID>5071161</Broadcast_ID>
  <Broadcast_Parameters>usr_survey_id=84431</Broadcast_Parameters>
  </record>
- <record>
  <Scheduled_Time>2009-10-06 14:28:00</Scheduled_Time>
  <Actual_Time>2009-10-06 14:28:37</Actual_Time>
  <Delay_if_Any>00:00:37</Delay_if_Any>
  <Number_Called>2222222222</Number_Called>
  <Result_of_Call>Busy signal, max attempts reached</Result_of_Call>
  <Response_ID />
  <Broadcast_ID>5071161</Broadcast_ID>
  <Broadcast_Parameters>usr_survey_id=84431</Broadcast_Parameters>
  </record>
- <record>
  <Scheduled_Time>2009-10-06 14:30:00</Scheduled_Time>
  <Actual_Time>2009-10-06 14:30:33</Actual_Time>
  <Delay_if_Any>00:00:33</Delay_if_Any>
  <Number_Called>8627037335</Number_Called>
  <Result_of_Call>Answered</Result_of_Call>
  <Response_ID />
  <Broadcast_ID>5071161</Broadcast_ID>
  <Broadcast_Parameters>usr_survey_id=84431</Broadcast_Parameters>
  </record>
  </data>

Hope you understood my problem clearly... If anything required, please revert to me!
-Vimal.

Vimal -

I'm not sure I understand exactly what the issue is. The XML you posted looks ok to me. So your code snippet is having a hard time parsing it - is that what is happening?

Can you see the 2 different XML i posted? Here again for your reference,

This is the output i am getting it for the actual xml[posted above], from the webresponse.

Hi,
I tried to paste that xml, but it is not pasted perfectly. The question is, if i use the url to get the status like this,

https://secure.ifbyphone.com/ibp_api.php?api_key=API_KEY&action=report.broadcast&start_date=2009-10-08&end_date=2009-10-08&broadcast_id=5118021

No.of calls scheduled on this broadcast id =1 then everything fine...

if No.Of Calls scheduled = 3 then the webresponse object is not giving the perfect xml.


Regards,
Vimal.

Vimal - I tested URL calls with some of your broadcasts that have 3 broadcasts, and the XML I get back is valid.

I do not have sample XML parsing code for .Net - but you can learn more about it at a couple of the links below:

Thanks for your reply!
I tried this code snippet which was suggested by IfByPhone for asp: [Modified according to Asp.net]
HttpWebRequest oWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(strURL);
            HttpWebResponse oWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)oWebRequest.GetResponse();
            StreamReader oStreamReader = new StreamReader(oWebResponse.GetResponseStream());
            String strRes = oStreamReader.ReadToEnd();

XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
                xDoc.LoadXml(strRes);
                XmlNode oRoot = xDoc.DocumentElement;
                String strXMLNode = oRoot.OuterXml;

Can you just try this code from your end, please advice me to do some modifications in it...

Hi, 1 more hint... there is no problem with the XML parsing... I guess it is from webresponse.
I displayed the web response for this url, it gave me 157, whereas if i pass the single response url it is giving 957...

Hi,
I mean to say, the content length of the web response is 157 for the URL i gave. but for the url which is having single phone number response the content length is 957... It means there is no content coming from response thats why xml looks blank.

Hi,
Any chance of finding the issue from your end!
I tried all the possible ways to pull out the web response but nothing worked out!

Regards,
Vimal.

Vimal - I am having trouble recreating the behavior you are seeing. Can you send me an email (see above) with the actual URLs and the exact responses? When I hit the URLs - I saw the expected XML.

Thanks
