SHOUTcast Transcoder AJAX api Problem

[George02]

I'am trying to create an application (in C# .NET Framework 4, Visual Studio) that make a simple request to api and retrive info .

code:
// Create a request using a URL that can receive a post. 

            WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://myip:8000/api");

            // Set the Method property of the request to POST.

            request.Method = "POST";

            // Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.

            string postData = "?op=listplaylists&seq=45";

            byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);

            // Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.

            request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8";

            // Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.

            request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;

            // Get the request stream.

            Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();

            // Write the data to the request stream.

            dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);

            // Close the Stream object.

            dataStream.Close();

            // Get the response.

            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

            // Display the status.

            Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);

            // Get the stream containing content returned by the server.

            dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();

            // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.

            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);

            // Read the content.

            string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();

            // Display the content.

            rtbResponse.Text = responseFromServer;

            // Clean up the streams.

            reader.Close();

            dataStream.Close();

            response.Close();

But I get an error "The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine"; at line "WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();"

Also trying to create a php page that make the same thing doesn't return nothing.

PHP Code:

<?php 
var url = "http://myip:8000/api/";
var params = "op=test&seq=45";
http.open("POST", url, true);

http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8");
http.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

http.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when the state changes.
    if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
        alert(http.responseText);
    }
}
http.send(params);
?>

No alert box show. I think the problem is from your api . What to do ?

No alert box shows because php is not JavaScript and also does not have an Ajax object.

and there's no password details provided in the request and i wouldn't be surprised if it's not even been correctly configured in sc_trans to enable the support either.

Thanks for your reply !

How can I do that? "configured in sc_trans to enable the support either" .


"and there's no password details provided in the request"
should I do something like :

code:
            

request.UseDefaultCredentials = false;

CredentialCache credential = new CredentialCache();

credential.Add(new Uri("http://myip:8000/api.php"),"Basic",new NetworkCredential("sc_trans|Username","sc_trans|Password");

request.Credentials = credential;

Ok. So I reused to post data to API but ... the response is something like "?|?]???{??G>?f?4|?@??.

code:


MessageBox.Show((((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription).ToString()); //message box show OK

dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();

StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(dataStream);

string XMLresponse = responseReader.ReadToEnd();



Dictionary<string, string> dict =

    XElement.Parse(XMLresponse)

            .Elements()

            .ToDictionary(x => x.Name.LocalName, x => x.Value);



responseReader.Close();

What I'm doing wrong ? After I press ok to close messagebox my application freeze.
