Get controller method caller (3rd party webservice)
- by bastijn
Is it possible to retrieve the URL of a 3rd party webservice calling my controller method?
Things like Request.Current.Url refer to my own URL (/someController/someAction/).
The 3rd party webservice is sending HTTP POST data to my /someController/someAction and I wish to send back a HTTP POST message to the caller of the method, the 3rd party webservice, without using
return Content["some response"]
which will force me to exit the method. Since the answer is plain text I would like to send it using HTTP Post.
What I actually try to do is respond to the calling webservice without exiting my method (return Content() will exit) so I can call other methods to process the data send to me by the webservice. I want to first tell the webservice I received their stuff and than process, in this way when a processing error occurs the webservice at least will not resend old data. Is there another way to do this than building your own HTTP post?
