I'm trying to expose a local WCF service that checks to see if a file exists in my database that can be accessed from a Scriptish script.
Is it possible to call a local URL from Scriptish or Greasemonkey (GET or POST)? I've created a WCF service hosted in IIS on my local machine, and the service is working fine. However, when I try to call the service from Scriptish the Network tab in Chrome/Firefox just says the following:
Request URL: http://localhost/service/service.svc/MatchPartial
Request Method: OPTIONS
Status code: 405 Method Not Allowed
Here is my ajax call:
$.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost/service/service.svc/MatchPartial',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=UTF-8',
dataType: 'json',
processData: true,
data: '{ "partialFilename": "testing" }',
success: function (result) {
console.log(result);
}
});
My method is decorated with:
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
public int MatchPartial(string partialFilename)
{
...
}
I have the following above my service class:
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
I've tried adding the following to my service with no luck:
[WebInvoke(Method = "OPTIONS", UriTemplate = "*")]
public void GetOptions()
{
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, OPTIONS");
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type");
}
I feel like I've tried everything. Any help would be appreciated!
I figured out how to do it via a GET request thanks to M.Babcock for pushing me in that direction (unimportant parts intentionally left out to save space).
Service.svc:
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class Service : IService
{
[WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
public bool MatchPartial(string partialFilename)
{
...
}
}

Here's how to do it in Scriptish:
var service = "http://localhost/service/service.svc";
GM_xmlhttpRequest({
method: "GET",
url: service + "/MatchPartial?partialFilename=" + filename,
headers: { "Accept": "application/json" },
onload: function (result) {
if (result != null && result.status == 200 && result.responseJSON == true) {
videoFrame.remove();
}
},
onerror: function (res) {
GM_log("Error!");
}
});
Plain ol' jQuery:
$.get("service", { partialFilename: filename }, function (result) {
if (result == true) {
videoFrame.remove();
}
});
