I made a google search before to write here. I'm using a Linux c++ server to send notifications to Windows Phone 8.1 - silverlight. Currently, using Poco library, I developed a simple code able to send a MPNS toast.
The snippet is the following:
URI uri(url);
string path(uri.getPathAndQuery());
if (path.empty()) path = "/";
HTTPClientSession session(uri.getHost(), uri.getPort());
HTTPRequest request(HTTPRequest::HTTP_POST, path, HTTPMessage::HTTP_1_1);
request.setContentType("text/xml");
request.add("X-WindowsPhone-Target", "toast");
request.add("X-NotificationClass", "2");
request.setMethod(HTTPRequest::HTTP_POST);
request.setContentLength(payload.length());
request.write(std::cout);
session.sendRequest(request)<<payload;
HTTPResponse response;
std::istream& rs = session.receiveResponse(response);
Now I need to update my Windows phone to the WinRT 8.1 (no Silverlight) and the notification system is WNS.
Unfortunately I haven't found enough docs to do this in a raw mode as for MPNS outside Windows. And most of examples are in C# using .NET.
Did someone meet this problem or find docs about how to realize it?
Thank you for any suggestion.

How do i set up a custom protocol handler in chrome? Something like:
myprotocol://testfile
I would need this to send a request to http://example.com?query=testfile, then send the httpresponse to my extension.
The following method registers an application to a URI Scheme. So, you can use mycustproto: in your HTML code to trigger a local application. It works on a Google Chrome Version 51.0.2704.79 m (64-bit).
I mainly used this method for printing document silently without the print dialog popping up. The result is pretty good and is a seamless solution to integrate the external application with the browser.
HTML code (simple):
Click Me
HTML code (alternative):
<input id="DealerName" />
<button id="PrintBtn"></button>
$('#PrintBtn').on('click', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
window.location.href = 'mycustproto:dealer ' + $('#DealerName').val();
});
URI Scheme will look like this:
You can create the URI Scheme manually in registry, or run the "mycustproto.reg" file (see below).
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
mycustproto
(Default) = "URL:MyCustProto Protocol"
URL Protocol = ""
DefaultIcon
(Default) = "myprogram.exe,1"
shell
open
command
(Default) = "C:\Program Files\MyProgram\myprogram.exe" "%1"
mycustproto.reg example:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto]
"URL Protocol"="\"\""
#="\"URL:MyCustProto Protocol\""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto\DefaultIcon]
#="\"mycustproto.exe,1\""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto\shell]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto\shell\open]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto\shell\open\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files\\MyProgram\\myprogram.exe\" \"%1\""
C# console application - myprogram.exe:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace myprogram
{
class Program
{
static string ProcessInput(string s)
{
// TODO Verify and validate the input
// string as appropriate for your application.
return s;
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Raw command-line: \n\t" + Environment.CommandLine);
Console.WriteLine("\n\nArguments:\n");
foreach (string s in args)
{
Console.WriteLine("\t" + ProcessInput(s));
}
Console.WriteLine("\nPress any key to continue...");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
Try to run the program first to make sure the program has been placed in the correct path:
cmd> "C:\Program Files\MyProgram\myprogram.exe" "mycustproto:Hello World"
Click the link on your HTML page:
You will see a warning window popup for the first time.
To reset the external protocol handler setting in Chrome:
If you have ever accepted the custom protocol in Chrome and would like to reset the setting, do this (currently, there is no UI in Chrome to change the setting):
Edit "Local State" this file under this path:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\
or Simply go to:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Then, search for this string: protocol_handler
You will see the custom protocol from there.
Note: Please close your Google Chrome before editing the file. Otherwise, the change you have made will be overwritten by Chrome.
Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914(v=vs.85).aspx
Chrome 13 now supports the navigator.registerProtocolHandler API. For example,
navigator.registerProtocolHandler(
'web+custom', 'http://example.com/rph?q=%s', 'My App');
Note that your protocol name has to start with web+, with a few exceptions for common ones (like mailto, etc). For more details, see: http://updates.html5rocks.com/2011/06/Registering-a-custom-protocol-handler
This question is old now, but there's been a recent update to Chrome (at least where packaged apps are concerned)...
http://developer.chrome.com/apps/manifest/url_handlers
and
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-extensions-samples/blob/e716678b67fd30a5876a552b9665e9f847d6d84b/apps/samples/url-handler/README.md
It allows you to register a handler for a URL (as long as you own it). Sadly no myprotocol:// but at least you can do http://myprotocol.mysite.com and can create a webpage there that points people to the app in the app store.
This is how I did it. Your app would need to install a few reg keys on installation, then in any browser you can just link to foo:\anythingHere.txt and it will open your app and pass it that value.
This is not my code, just something I found on the web when searching the same question. Just change all "foo" in the text below to the protocol name you want and change the path to your exe as well.
(put this in to a text file as save as foo.reg on your desktop, then double click it to install the keys)
-----Below this line goes into the .reg file (NOT including this line)------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foo]
#="URL:foo Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foo\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foo\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foo\shell\open\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe\" \"%1\""
Not sure whether this is the right place for my answer, but as I found very few helpful threads and this was one of them, I am posting my solution here.
Problem: I wanted Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon to open Evolution when clicking on mailto links in Chromium. Gmail was registered as default handler in chrome://settings/handlers and I could not choose any other handler.
Solution:
Use the xdg-settings in the console
xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler mailto org.gnome.Evolution.desktop
Solution was found here https://alt.os.linux.ubuntu.narkive.com/U3Gy7inF/kubuntu-mailto-links-in-chrome-doesn-t-open-evolution and adapted for my case.
I've found the solution by Jun Hsieh and MuffinMan generally works when it comes to clicking links on pages in Chrome or pasting into the URL bar, but it doesn't seem to work in a specific case of passing the string on the command line.
For example, both of the following commands open a blank Chrome window which then does nothing.
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "foo://C:/test.txt"
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-window "foo://C:/test.txt"
For comparison, feeding Chrome an http or https URL with either of these commands causes the web page to be opened.
This became apparent because one of our customers reported that clicking links for our product from a PDF being displayed within Adobe Reader fails to invoke our product when Chrome is the default browser. (It works fine with MSIE and Firefox as default, but not when either Chrome or Edge are default.)
I'm guessing that instead of just telling Windows to invoke the URL and letting Windows figure things out, the Adobe product is finding the default browser, which is Chrome in this case, and then passing the URL on the command line.
I'd be interested if anyone knows of Chrome security or other settings which might be relevant here so that Chrome will fully handle a protocol handler, even if it's provided via the command line. I've been looking but so far haven't found anything.
I've been testing this against Chrome 88.0.4324.182.
open
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
open Preferences then search for excluded_schemes you will find it in 'protocol_handler' delete this excluded scheme(s) to reset chrome to open url with default application
I need to create a simple web service (being the "server"). The goal is to provide some data I do read in an Qt / C++ application as JSON data. Basically a JavaScript application in the browser shall read its data from the Qt app. It is usually a single user scenario, so the user runs a Google Maps application in her browser, while additional data come from the Qt application.
So far I have found these libs:
Qxt: http://libqxt.bitbucket.org/doc/0.6/index.html but being a newbie on C++/Qt I miss some examples. Added: I have found one example here
gSoap: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soap.html has more examples and documentation and also seems to support JSON
KD SOAP: http://www.kdab.com/kdab-products/kd-soap/ with no example as far as I can tell, docu is here
Qt features itself, but it is more about acting as a client: http://qt-project.org/videos/watch/qt-networking-web-services
Checking SO gives me basically links to the above libs
webservice with Qt with an example I do not really get.
How to Create a webservice by Qt
So basically I do have the following questions:
Which lib would you use? I want to keep it as simple as possible and would need an example.
Is there another (easy!) way to provide the JSON data to the JavaScript Web page besides the WebService?
-- Edit, remarks: ---
Needs to be application intrinsic. No web server can be installed, no extra run time can be used. The user just runs the app. Maybe the Qt WebKit could be an approach....
-- Edit 2 --
Currently checking the tiny web servers as of SO " Qt HTTP Server? "
As of my tests, currently I am using QtWebApp: http://stefanfrings.de/qtwebapp/index-en.html This is one of the answers of Edit 2 ( Qt HTTP Server? )
Stefan's small WebServer has some well documented code, is written in "Qt C++" and easy to use, especially if you have worked with servlets already. Since it can be easily integrated in my Qt project, I'll end up with an internal WebServer.
Some demo code from my JSON tests, showing that generating the JSON content is basically creating a QString.
void WebServiceController::service(HttpRequest& request, HttpResponse& response) {
// set some headers
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=ISO-8859-1");
response.setCookie(HttpCookie("wsTest","CreateDummyPerson",600));
QString dp = WebServiceController::getDummyPerson();
QByteArray ba = dp.toLocal8Bit();
const char *baChar = ba.data();
response.write(ba);
}
If someone has easy examples with other libs to share, please let me know.
QByteArray ba = dp.toLocal8Bit();
const char *baChar = ba.data();
You don't need to convert the QByteArray to char array. Response.write() can also be called with a QByteArray.
By the way: qPrintable(dp) is a shortcut to convert from QString to char array.
I am trying to do a JSON Restful web service in C/C++.
I have tried Axis2/C and Staff, which work great for XML serialization/deserialization but not for JSON.
You might want to take a look at Casablanca introduced in Herb Sutter's blog.
there are a small number of libraries that support creating rest services with c, e.g. restinio:
#include <restinio/all.hpp>
int main()
{
restinio::run(
restinio::on_this_thread()
.port(8080)
.address("localhost")
.request_handler([](auto req) {
return req->create_response().set_body("Hello, World!").done();
}));
return 0;
}
try https://github.com/babelouest/ulfius great library to build C/C++ Restful APIs. can support all platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and others
Try ngrest. It's a simple but fast C++ RESTful JSON Web Services framework. It can be deployed on top of Apache2, Nginx or own simple http server.
Regarding Axis2/C with JSON. It's seems that official Axis2/C no longer maintained. So Axis2/C become obsolete (but still works).
JSON support for Axis2/C is available in axis2c-unofficial project.
There are an installation manuals on how to install Axis2/C with JSON support under Linux, Windows using binary package, Windows from source code.
You can try it with WSF Staff using Customers (REST) example in JSON mode (which is available from staff/samples/rest/webclient directory of staff source code).
You could look at ffead-cpp. Apart from providing support for json and restfull web services it also includes more features. This framework may be too heavy weight for your situation though.
For C++ web service, I am using the following stack:
ipkn/crow C++ micro web framework
nlohmann/json for json serialization/deserialization.
Take a look at Oat++
It has:
URL routing with URL-parameters mapping
Support for Swagger-UI endpoint annotations.
Object-Mapping with JSON support.
Example endpoint:
ENDPOINT("GET", "users/{name}", getUserByName, PATH(String, name)) {
auto userDto = UserDto::createShared();
userDto->name = name;
return createDtoResponse(Status::CODE_200, userDto);
}
Curl:
$ curl http://localhost:8000/users/john
{"name":"john"}
You may want to take a look at webcc.
It's a lightweight C++ HTTP client and server library for embedding purpose based on Boost.Asio (1.66+).
It's quite promising and actively being developed.
It includes a lot of examples to demonstrate how to create a server and client.
There is a JIRA project resolved the support of JSON in AXIS2/C .
I implemented in my project and I managed with the writer (Badgerfish convention) but still I am trying to manage with the reader.It seems more complicated managing with the stack in the memory.
JSON and JSONPath are supported for both C and C++ in gsoap with a new code generator and a new JSON API to get you started quickly.
Several JSON, JSON-RPC and REST examples are included. Memory management is automatic.
The code generator can be useful. Take for example the json.org menu.json snippet:
{ "menu": {
"id": "file",
"value": "File",
"popup": {
"menuitem": [
{"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},
{"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},
{"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}
]
}
}
}
The gsoap command jsoncpp -M menu.json generates this code to populate a JSON value:
value x(ctx);
x["menu"]["id"] = "file";
x["menu"]["value"] = "File";
x["menu"]["popup"]["menuitem"][0]["value"] = "New";
x["menu"]["popup"]["menuitem"][0]["onclick"] = "CreateNewDoc()";
x["menu"]["popup"]["menuitem"][1]["value"] = "Open";
x["menu"]["popup"]["menuitem"][1]["onclick"] = "OpenDoc()";
x["menu"]["popup"]["menuitem"][2]["value"] = "Close";
x["menu"]["popup"]["menuitem"][2]["onclick"] = "CloseDoc()";
Also reading parsed JSON values and JSONPath code can be generated by this tool.
EDIT
To clarify, the jsoncpp command-line code generator shows the API code to read and write JSON data by using a .json file as a template, which I found is useful to save time to write the API code to populate and extract JSON data. JSONPath query code can also be generated with this tool.
For web service in C, you can leverage library like ulfius, civetweb:
https://github.com/babelouest/ulfius
https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb/blob/master/docs/Embedding.md
For web service in C++, you can leverage library like libhv, restbed:
https://github.com/ithewei/libhv

I'm trying to use the libcurl in a C/C++ application to post files to DropBox.
I would like to use the "/files (POST)" API as documented here...
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/api#files-POST
I am having problems with properly authenticating (OAuth) this call. It is unclear to me how to properly create the authentication signature.
From some a sample I saw, it looked like they were reading in the whole file to create the HMAC-SHA1 encoding on. This seems problematic on large files.
Does anyone have experience or insight using this API or something similar?
I have just use the libouth and libcurl to get information from sina weibo. here is my example for you refer. you can also refer the liboauth test programmer in the tests dir, oauthtest.c
if (use_post)
{
req_url = oauth_sign_url2(test_call_uri, &postarg, OA_HMAC, NULL, c_key, c_secret, t_key, t_secret);
reply = oauth_http_post(req_url,postarg);
}
I suggest using BOOST ASIO . Makes uploading and downloading a breeze.
Hey, I've got this nice little piece of code, much like all the other versions of this method of upload using WSS WebServices. I've got one major problem though - once I have uploaded a file into my doc list, and updated the list item to write a comment/description, the file is stuck there. What I mean is that this method will not overwrite the file once I've uploaded it. Nobody else out there seems to have posted this issue yet, so .. anyone?
I have another version of the method which uses a byte[] instead of a Stream .. same issue though.
Note: I have switched off the 'require documents to be checked out before they can be edited' option for the library. No luck tho .. The doc library does have versioning turned on though, with a major version being created for each update.
private void UploadStream(string fullPath, Stream uploadStream)
{
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(fullPath);
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; // User must have 'Contributor' access to the document library
request.Method = "PUT";
request.Headers.Add("Overwrite", "t");
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
using (Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
for (int i = uploadStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); i > 0; i = uploadStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length))
{
stream.Write(buffer, 0, i);
}
}
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); // Upload the file
response.Close();
}

EDIT -- major finding .. when I call it from my nUnit test project it works fine. It seems it only fails when I call it from my WCF application (nUnit running under logged on user account, WCF app has app pool running under that same user -- my account, which also has valid permissions in SharePoint).
Nuts. "Now where to start?!", I muses to myself.
SOLVED -- I found a little bug - the file was being created in the right place, but the update path was wrong.. I ended up finding a folder full of files with many, many new versions.. doh!
Why not use the out-of-the-box SharePoint webservice, Lists.asmx? You'll find it in
http://SITEURL/___vti_bin/Lists.asmx
Edit, I checked out the link and it seems you are calling the out of the box web service. This has got be versioning related then. Can you check out the different versions that exist in the doc lib of the specific file? see if it perhaps gets added as a minor version through the service?
Have you tried using a capital T? SharePoint's webdav header processing is not very likely to be case-sensitive, but the protocol does specify a capital T. Oh, and what is the response? A 412 error code or something altogether different?
