self-hosting

I'm having a problem with a self-host WCF REST service. When I try to issue a GET via browser or Fiddler, I get a 400 Bad Request. Tracing is reporting an inner exception of XmlException "The body of the message cannot be read because it is empty." I don't have any configuration in app.config (do I need any?). I have tried changing WebServiceHost to ServiceHost, and WSDL is returned, but the operations still return 400. What am I missing here? // Add Reference to System.ServiceModel and System.ServiceModel.Web using System; using System.Diagnostics; using System.ServiceModel; using System

I have an console-app with hosted WebAPI (HttpSelfHostServer). In the console-app I have Controllers that query data from SQL-Server. The console-app works without problems (from fiddler and a Windows_client) Now I want to host the WebAPI (HttpSelfHostServer) in a Windows-Service. Therefore I have created a Service-Project and referenced the Controllers in console-app-dll so that the controllers should be found. To have a minimal chance to debug, I write some information in the event log from the windows service. I can start and stop the windows-service without problems. It also seems as that

I am trying to learn ServiceStack with the hello world examples and self-hosted example. I am making requests for JSON content. I have noticed the following in the response headers: Basic service hosted in an ASP.Net project: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: ASP.NET Development Server/10.0.0.0 Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 12:49:46 GMT X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319 X-Powered-By: ServiceStack/3.943 Win32NT/.NET Cache-Control: private Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 16 <------------------------------------- Connection: Close Same basic service, self-hosting (command line): HTTP/1.1

Using Visual Studio 2015 I created a console application to self-host Owin with embedded static files. Since Visual Studio doesn't know it's a web-site project, it ignores TypeScript files. When I go to the project properties, the TypeScript tab's typically there in web projects is missing. How do I enabled the TypeScript tab so that I can configure TypeScript and use Visual Studio 2015's built-in capabilities to compile TypeScript. Open the .csproj file in a text editor and add the following line <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)

I've re-asked this question with examples provided on github and a drop box download link for anyone that want to run the code themselves : Swagger not working on a self hosted ServiceStack Service I had my servicestack JSON service running inside my website solution, under the '/api/ path, but now I'd like to split out that service stack portion and have it running as a self hosted windows service. My problem is, myself and the other developers find the Swagger plugin very useful for testing purposes, but now that it's self hosted it appears the HTTPHandler is setup only for only handling the

I have this configuration in my app.config: </binding> </basicHttpBinding> </bindings> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="myBehavior"> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> I want to expose this service programmatically from my desktop app: I define the host instance: ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyType), new Uri("http://" + hostName + ":" + port + "/MyName")); Then I add the endpoint with it's binding: var binding = new BasicHttpBinding("myBinding"); host

I'm trying to self-host a simple WebAPI: public class AccountViewApplication { protected IDisposable WebApplication; public void Start() { WebApplication = WebApp.Start<WebPipeline>("http://myhost.mymachine.me:12345"); new AccountViewApplication().Start(); } public void Stop() { WebApplication.Dispose(); } } The first time I run this, it starts to listen just fine, but the next time that I try - I get this: Failed to listen on prefix ' http://myhost.mymachine.me:12345/ ' because it conflicts with an existing registration on the machine What can I do to make it listen every time, and not
