Question

I am using ClientBase in a proxy to call a REST over WCF service of mine using the service interface:

public class CommunicationServiceProxy : ClientBase<ICommunicationService>, ICommunicationService

I also add before each call a authorization header so my service will accept the request, like this:

private OperationContextScope AddHeader(OperationContextScope scope)

        {
            if (WebOperationContext.Current == null) return null;

            WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", Header);

            return scope;
        }

Everything is working fine, but now, because of security resons, I need to generate a signature of the request URL(eg. http://myservice/contact/getstatus?id=1), the problem is how to get this URL when using a proxy class like the one above, seens like WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingRequest is missing this information.

Anyone have managed to get this? What are my options here?

Thanks

Answer 1

The solution I found is to use WCF extensions, more specificly IClientMessageInspector, there I have all the information I need to generate the signature.
