Question

I'm writing a console application program as httplistener and using it through jquery and it's working completely true but I want to convert it to https but i don't know the steps

Here is my code I hope any one can solve it quickly

This is the jquery code which is written in JScript.js file

 $(function () {
    //this code is executed when the page's onload event fires
    $("#runSample1").click(function () {
        var userNameJS = $("#uName").val();
        var passwordJS = $("#passw").val();
        $.post("http://localhost:80/", { userName: userNameJS, password: passwordJS }, function (data) {
            alert(data);
        });

    });
});

this is the html page

        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
<table>

    <tr>
        <td class="style1"><label >User Name</label></td>
        <td><input id="uName"  type="text" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="style1"><label >Password</label></td>
        <td><input id="passw"  type="password" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="style1"><input id="runSample1"  type="button" value="Send" style="width: 62px"/>  </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
</body>
</html>

and the httplistener code is

            if (!HttpListener.IsSupported)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Windows XP SP2 or Server 2003 is required to use the HttpListener class.");
                return;
            }
            // Create a listener.
            HttpListener listener = new HttpListener();
            //listener.AuthenticationSchemes = AuthenticationSchemes.Negotiate;
            listener.Prefixes.Add("http://*:8080/");
            //listener.AuthenticationSchemes
            listener.Start();
            Console.WriteLine("Listening...");
            for (; ; )
            {
                HttpListenerContext ctx = listener.GetContext();
                new Thread(new Worker(ctx).ProcessRequest).Start();
            }
        }

    class Worker

        public Worker(HttpListenerContext context)

        public void ProcessRequest()

            }
            HttpListenerResponse response = context.Response;

            //To send any object as json to client
            DataContractJsonSerializer jsonObject = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(List<Person>));
            System.IO.Stream output = response.OutputStream;
            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
            jsonObject.WriteObject(ms, eList);
            byte[] buffer = ms.ToArray();
            response.ContentType = "text/plain";
            response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8;
            response.ContentLength64 = buffer.Length;
            //These headers to allow all browsers to get the response
            response.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true");
            response.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
            response.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Origin", "*");
            //This line to write to the resonse
            output.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            output.Close();
        }
    }
}
Was it helpful?

Solution

IE is not sandboxing localhost. FF and other browsers do. They see the call to localhost as a call to the web, and this is not allowed.

You could try to add

Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Origin: *

to the headers of the HttpListener. A good paper on why this is needed can be founded here.
