Consuming Web Service with JavaScript (returning dataSet) - javascript

I consume a WebService .NET using Javascript with this code:
// This is where you can place your Javascript code
// var xmlHTTP;
function MButton1Click(event) {
testarTexto();
}
function WebSvc() // Class Signature
{
WebSvc.prototype.CallWebService = function(url, soapXml, callback)
{
var xmlDoc = null;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
xmlDoc = new XMLHttpRequest(); //Newer browsers
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject) //IE 5, 6
{
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
if (xmlDoc)
{
var self = this;
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function() { self.StateChange(xmlDoc, callback); };
xmlDoc.open("POST", url, true);
xmlDoc.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
xmlDoc.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", soapXml.length);
xmlDoc.send(soapXml);
}
else
{
if (callback)
{
callback(false, "unable to create XMLHttpRequest object");
}
}
};
WebSvc.prototype.StateChange = function(xmlDoc, callback)
{
if (xmlDoc.readyState === 4)
{
var text = "";
if (xmlDoc.status === 200)
{
text = xmlDoc.responseText;
}
// Perform callback with data if callback function signature was provided,
if (callback !== null)
{
callback(xmlDoc.status === 200, text);
}
}
};
}
function createSoapHeader(message)
{
var soap = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>";
soap = soap + "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">";
soap = soap + " <soap:Body>";
soap = soap + " <TesteDeTexto xmlns=\"http://tempuri.org/\">";
soap = soap + " <pTexto>" + message + "</pTexto>";
soap = soap + " </TesteDeTexto>";
soap = soap + " </soap:Body>";
soap = soap + "</soap:Envelope>";
return soap;
}
function callComplete(result, data)
{
if (result)
{
//alert(getTagValue(data, "TesteDeTextoResult"));
document.getElementById('MTextArea1').value = getTagValue(data, "TesteDeTextoResult");
}
else
{
alert("Error occurred calling web service.\n" + result + "\n" +data);
}
}
function testarTexto()
{
var soap = createSoapHeader("TESTE");
//document.getElementById('texto').value = soap;
// alert(soap);
var webServiceCall = new WebSvc();
webServiceCall.CallWebService("http://localhost/WebService/Test.asmx", soap, callComplete);
}
function getTagValue(inputStr, tagName)
{
var stag = "<" + tagName + ">";
var etag = "<" + "/" + tagName + ">";
var startPos = inputStr.indexOf(stag, 0);
if (startPos >= 0)
{
var endPos = inputStr.indexOf(etag, startPos);
if (endPos > startPos)
{
startPos = startPos + stag.length;
return inputStr.substring(startPos, endPos);
}
}
return "";
}
But it only works with methods that return a string as result. How can I make when I need to return a dataSet?

Just use jQuery ^^ There you find a lot of different handlers for different return types. A dataSet could be encoded in JSON or XML, what is transfered automatically into JS data structures by jQuery. Additionally, the JS code looks much cleaner, because jQuery comes with a bunch of AJAX methods. To transform the xml response into JS data structures, just set the dataType to xml in your jQuery request. For instance:
jQuery.ajax('url/to/your/WS', {
dataType: "xml",
data: {
postParam1 : "foo"
},
success: function(data) {
alert(data.find("MyNode"));
}
});
How to work with the parsed xml response in JS can be found here.

html table no longer supported

As others before I used yql to get data from a website. The website is in xml format.
I am doing this to build a web data connector in Tableau to connect to xmldata and I got my code from here: https://github.com/tableau/webdataconnector/blob/v1.1.0/Examples/xmlConnector.html
As recommended on here: YQL: html table is no longer supported I tried htmlstring and added the reference to the community environment.
// try to use yql as a proxy
function _yqlProxyAjaxRequest2(url, successCallback){
var yqlQueryBase = "http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=";
var query = "select * from htmlstring where url='" + url + "'";
var restOfQueryString = "&format=xml" ;
var yqlUrl = yqlQueryBase + encodeURIComponent(query) + restOfQueryString + "&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys";
_ajaxRequestHelper(url, successCallback, yqlUrl, _giveUpOnUrl9);
}
function _giveUpOnUrl9(url, successCallback) {
tableau.abortWithError("Could not load url: " + url);
}
However, I still got the message: Html table no longer supported.
As I don't know much about yql, I tried to work with xmlHttpRequestinstead, but Tableau ended up processing the request for ages and nothing happened.
Here my attempt to find another solution and avoid the yql thingy:
function _retrieveXmlData(retrieveDataCallback) {
if (!window.cachedTableData) {
var conData = JSON.parse(tableau.connectionData);
var xmlString = conData.xmlString;
if (conData.xmlUrl) {
var successCallback = function(data) {
window.cachedTableData = _xmlToTable(data);
retrieveDataCallback(window.cachedTableData);
};
//INSTEAD OF THIS:
//_basicAjaxRequest1(conData.xmlUrl, successCallback);
//USE NOT YQL BUT XMLHTTPREQUEST:
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
myFunction(this);
}
};
xhttp.open('GET', 'https://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml', true);
xhttp.send();
return;
}
try {
var xmlDoc = $.parseXML(conData.xmlString);
window.cachedTableData = _xmlToTable(xmlDoc);
}
catch (e) {
tableau.abortWithError("unable to parse xml data");
return;
}
}
retrieveDataCallback(window.cachedTableData);
}
Does anyone have an idea how to get YQL work or comment on my approach trying to avoid it?
Thank you very much!

XMLHttpRequest sends local data twice

I'm using XMLHttpRequest's send method to upload the data that are saved in a local sqlite database, to my own website. On my website I'm running phpMyAdmin. The issue that I'm having is that the data gets transmitted to the server twice, even though the local sqlite database stores the data only once. I was wondering if anyone could help me to identify the issue. I also made sure to use XMLHttpRequest asynchronously, I still don't understand why is this happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Overriding XMLHttpRequest's open/send method

I am trying to catch every XHR Request send from Gmail and add a classification lable in the body of the mail. I am not sending new XHR requests.

upload image binary - using imageshack api

Moving a topic from google groups to here so it can help someone who is asking.
imageshack api: http://api.imageshack.us/
the final http reqeust is returning json:
{"success":true,"process_time":325,"result":{"max_filesize":5242880,"space_limit":52428800,"space_used":0,"space_left":52428800,"passed":0,"failed":0,"total":0,"images":[]}}
which is not good, as it didn't upload :(
it should return an image object. http://api.imageshack.us/#h.ws82a1l6pp9g
as this is what the upload image section on the imageshack api says
please help :(
my extension code
var blobUrl;
var makeBlob = function () {
bigcanvas.toBlob(function (blob) {
var reader = new window.FileReader();
reader.readAsBinaryString(blob);
reader.onloadend = function () {
blobBinaryString = reader.result;
blobUrl = blobBinaryString;
Cu.reportError(blobUrl);
uploadBlob();
}
});
};
var uploadedImageUrl;
var uploadBlob = function () {
HTTP('POST', 'https://api.imageshack.us/v1/images', {
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
//'album=' + urlencode('Stock History') + '&

},

Cu.reportError('XMLHttpRequest FAILLLLLLLL - imageshack uploadBlob\n' + statusText + '\n' + responseText);
}
});
};
makeBlob(); //callllll the func
What worked for me was reading about
the differences between URI's, files, blobs and Base64's in this article: https://yaz.in/p/blobs-files-and-data-uris/ .
fetching a new blob: https://masteringjs.io/tutorials/axios/form-data
and much more closed tabs along the way
so in my react component onChange handler I use new FileReader to read event.target.files[0], readAsDataURL(file), and set the Base64 encoded string to state.
I conditionally render an img src={base64stringfromState} to offer confirmation of correct image, then onSubmit, I convert this "Data URI" (the Base64 string), to a blob with one of these two codes I found somewhere (didn't end up using the first one but this is useful af and took forever to find):
const dataURItoBlob = (dataURI) => {
// convert base64/URLEncoded data component to raw binary data held in a string
var byteString;
if (dataURI.split(',')[0].indexOf('base64') >= 0)
byteString = atob(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
else
byteString = unescape(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
// separate out the mime component
var mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0];
// write the bytes of the string to a typed array
var ia = new Uint8Array(byteString.length);
for (var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
}
return new Blob([ia], {type:mimeString});
}
And
const blob = await fetch(base64imageString).then(res => res.blob())
Instead of all that shit we can just do this fetch a new version of the image or whatever and blob it right there, in the middle of constructing our photo upload/request :
event.preventDefault()
const blob = await fetch(base64stringfromState).then(res => res.blob())
const formData = new FormData()
formData.append('file#', blob)
formData.append('api_key', 'XXXXX')
formData.append('auth_token', 'XXXXXXXXXX')
formData.append('album', 'youralbumname')
const res = await axios.post('https://api.imageshack.com/v2/images', formData, {headers{'Content-Type':'multipart/form-data'}})
then all we have to do to store the uploaded image is to append https:// to and record the returned direct link for storage alongside its id so you can delete it if you need to later. Per the code earlier they spit out at
res.data.result.images[0].direct_link
res.data.result.images[0].id
This was a bitch to solve so hopefully this helps someone else with uploading photos to imageshack api cuz it's potentially a great value considering the limits of the competitors.

important note for code above
should use JSON.parse instead of eval if you want to submit the addon to AMO
should also probably change from using window to Services.appShel.hiddenDOMWindow so like new window.FormData(); would become new Services.appShel.hiddenDOMWindow.FormData(); OR var formData = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/files/formdata;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIDOMFormData); OR Cu.import('resource://gre/modules/FormData.jsm')

jquery doesn't get loaded, if i don't reload page

This code works only if I reload/refresh page, otherwise it doesn't work, I susspect issue is, because I use Jquery + normal javascript.
I have form and there is input which uses autocomplete, but while you go trough form next, it doesn't work.
The point is that input with #SchoolName isn't on first page is on 2nd page (after showcart(); function is trigered)...
Anyone have any ideas why my jquery code doesn't load properly?
I have this code:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function autocomplete() {
$("#SchoolName").autocomplete("ajaxFuncs.php", {
cacheLength:1,
mustMatch:1,
extraParams: {getSchoolName:1}
});
};
$(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout("autocomplete()", 500);
});
function showVal(str) {
if (str == "") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "* Please type in School Name.";
return;
}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
if (xmlhttp.status == 200) { // break this into 2 statements so you can handle HTTP errors
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
} else {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "AJAX Error (HTTP "+xmlhttp.status+")";
}
}
}; // functions declared in this way should be followed by a semi colon, since the function declaration is actually a statement.
// encodeURIComponent() does all the escaping work for you - it is roughly analogous to PHP's urlencode()
// xmlhttp.open("GET","ajaxFuncs2.php?q="+encodeURIComponent(str),true);
xmlhttp.open("GET","ajaxFuncs2.php?q="+encodeURIComponent(str),true);
xmlhttp.send();

Try to move the last line:
setTimeout("showCart();", 100);
...into the $.ready-function:
$(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout("autocomplete()", 500);
});
Otherwise it may happen that showCart() gets called before the elements you access in showCart() are known.
First: Combining jQuery + regular javascript is not a problem -- jquery is made of regular javascript.
Secondly, when you're passing a method into your callback param anything, you can usually just write the name of the method:
$(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout(autocomplete, 500);
});
Third, the issue of using XMLHttpRequest while also using jquery. Jquery has a version of the XHR that is even more cross browser compliant than that is, you should use it:
$.ajax()
Finally, please add an include to the actual jquery file at the beginning of your code..
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
Sorry to say, while formatting your code its really pain to do.
I have seen some of issue right now:-
function autocomplete() { first this function has improver closing }; with semi-colon
Below is the repeatitive code:-
//Send the proper header information along with the request
doc.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
doc.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
doc.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
document.body.style.cursor = "wait";
doc.send(params);
document.body.style.cursor = "default";</li>
This you can make into a single function call by passing proper parameters.
3.If you are using JQuery then XMLHttpRequest is not required
4.Yet to update...
Open up a javascript console (Ctrl-Shift-J) in Firefox/Chrome and look in the menu bar for other browsers and see what errors show up
