Body
copied!<p>I've been trying to create a simple search page using the Yahoo BOSS v2 api, but cant get OAuth to work properly. I have all the keys etc, and downloaded a C# class for OAuth at <a href="http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/csharp/OAuthBase.cs" rel="nofollow">http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/csharp/OAuthBase.cs</a> , but I keep getting errors.</p> <p>We've tried the following:</p> <p>a javascript function builds a yahoo boss query string and then leads to PageMethods.getYahoo(query string, responseFunction);</p> <p>Here's the code behind</p> <pre><code>[WebMethod] public static string getYahoo(string url) { String result; OAuthBase oauth = new OAuthBase(); Uri uri = new Uri("http://mysite.com"); string a, qstring = ""; string signature = oauth.GenerateSignature(uri, "-my consumer key-", "-my secret-", out a, out qstring); url = url.Replace("{oauth}", qstring + "oauth_signature=" + signature); WebResponse objResponse; WebRequest objRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(url); objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse(); using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream())) { result = sr.ReadToEnd(); sr.Close(); } return result; } </code></pre> <p>here is my GenerateSignature method in oAuthBase class:</p> <pre><code>public string GenerateSignature(Uri url, string consumerKey, string consumerSecret, out string normalizedUrl, out string normalizedRequestParameters) { normalizedUrl = null; normalizedRequestParameters = null; string signatureBase = GenerateSignatureBase(url, consumerKey,null ,null,null,GenerateTimeStamp(),GenerateNonce(), HMACSHA1SignatureType, out normalizedUrl, out normalizedRequestParameters); HMACSHA1 hmacsha1 = new HMACSHA1(); hmacsha1.Key = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(string.Format("{0}&{1}", UrlEncode(consumerSecret), "")); return GenerateSignatureUsingHash(signatureBase, hmacsha1); } </code></pre> <p>But we keep getting the error:</p> <pre><code>Message: Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: The server method 'getYahoo' failed with the following error: System.Net.WebException-- The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. Line: 6934 Char: 21 Code: 0 </code></pre> <p>I hope someone here can help...!</p>
