I'm trying to use the WCF Rest Starter Kit with the RightScale's Login
API which seems fairly simple to use.
Edit - Here's a blog entry I wrote on using Powershell to consume the
API.
Edit - Created a generic .NET wrapper for the RightScale
API - NRightAPI
It's exactly as simple as it looks while using CURL. In order for me to obtain a login cookie all I need to do is:
curl -v -c rightcookie -u username:password "https://my.rightscale.com/api/acct/accountid/login?api_version=1.0"
And I receive the following cookie:
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content Date: Fri, 25
Dec 2009 12:29:24 GMT Server: Mongrel
1.1.
3 Status: 204 No Content X-Runtime: 0.06121 Content-Type:
text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 0 Cache-Control:

_session_id="488a8d9493579b9473fbcfb94b3a7b8e5e3" for domain my.rightscale.com, path /,
expire 0 Set-Cookie:
_session_id=488a8d9493579b9473fbcfb94b3a7b8e5e3;
path=/; secure Vary: Accept-Encoding
However, when I use the following C# code:
HttpClient http = new
HttpClient("https://my.rightscale.com/api/accountid/login?api_version=1.0");
http.TransportSettings.UseDefaultCredentials
= false; http.TransportSettings.MaximumAutomaticRedirections
= 0; http.TransportSettings.Credentials =
new NetworkCredential("username",
"password");
Console.WriteLine(http.Get().Content.ReadAsString());
Instead of a HTTP 204, I get a redirect:
You are being <a>
href="https://my.rightscale.com/dashboard"redirected <a>
How do I get the WCF REST starter kit working with the RighScale
API ?
