hi ziya786

I'm trying to upload my target with this code.

But the http request has exception.

I don't know why this happen.

Please help me.

Awesome sample!  Does anyone have a C# sample for the multipart/form-data cloudreco query?

This is my code  it is working.

Hello are you done with your code ?

refer to the document you should add "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" to your MD5 hash code insted (contentMD5). please check and replay.

I tried your code to get response, I am also getting the same error.Can you please help me to figure out the error?

Check the format of the Date field. It should look like this ..

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 12:45:19 GMT

* note the comma and that it ends w/ a space then GMT.

This is my code :

ASCIIEncoding Encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
            MD5 md5 = MD5.Create();          
            string requestPath = "/targets";
            string serviceURI = "https://vws.vuforia.com" + requestPath;
            string httpVerb = "GET";
            var contentMD5bytes = md5.ComputeHash(Encoding.GetBytes(""));
            string contentMD5 = BitConverter.ToString(contentMD5bytes).Replace("-", "");
            string contentType = "";
            System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
            string date = string.Format("{0:r}", DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime());
            string StringToSign = String.Format("{0}\n{1}\n{2}\n{3}\n{4}", httpVerb, contentMD5, contentType, date, requestPath); // HTTP-Verb, Content-MD5, Content-Type, Date, Request-Path;
            HMACSHA1 sha1 = new HMACSHA1(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Global.secret_key));
            byte[] sha1Bytes = Encoding.GetBytes(StringToSign);
            MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(sha1Bytes);
            byte[] sha1Hash = sha1.ComputeHash(stream);
            string signature = System.Convert.ToBase64String(sha1Hash);           
            HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(serviceURI);
            request.Headers.Add("Authorization", string.Format("VWS {0}:{1}", Global.access_key, signature));
            request.Date = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime();           
            try
            {
                var response = await request.GetResponseAsync();
            }
            catch (WebException ex)
            {
           
            }

Are you still stuck? - if so post the code you are using.

HI 

      I  too getting same exception  401 Unauthorized . Is any got any solution of intregating VWS API with c# or vb.net please help

Check your date format, it should be in GMT and the string should end with " GMT".  Also it will be a good idea to post in the Cloud Recognition forum where other VWS devs will see your question. And it will be helpful to see the string that's being assigned to StringToSign.

I have read that posts，so I  wrote the similar code，but I get 401，I don't know why?

Is there any C# sample that can be done right?

Hi, if you search the Forum there are several threads discussing similar implementation issues in C#.

Also, may want to look at our Java samples for VWS; these are in Java, not in C#, but it may help yo by comparing the implementation with yours.
