Matt, I'd like to hear about your progress, issues that you run into, and anything that you feel would be good to share. Wally

I think this is what I'll be doing. I thought it was going to be harder, but it is pretty clean and neat.

There are a lot of reasons why a proxy is a good thing in development, however, the proxy is a hassle in the iPhone/MonoTouch world. If I could get a REST proxy in the dev world that somehow turned itself off when it was deployed to an emulator/simulator or device, that would be awesome, but i don't see that happening any time soon.

I've been using WCF REST services, with JSON formatting and https endpoints, and so far, the overall experience is great.

After experimentation, I am going to REST, JSON, and, if you need security what about https? Or, have I missed something somewhere on a list about this being bad? Wally PS. I read about JSON support for .NET 4 via NuGet, but have no experience with it.

Is it up to SOAP 1.2 yet? I am writing a Proof of Concept for an Android app that will interact with WCF services, but am struggling to get the thing working. It will be an enterprise app that will use WiFi and needs to be secure as it will be carrying the companies confidential data. I did see you FAQ, but want to know for sure the current status: http://support.xamarin.com/customer/portal/articles/142151-does-mono-for-android-support-wcf- and this thread seems bad things about it: http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/Calling-arbitrary-web-services-td4959774.html I am trying to connect to a service that has `TransportWithMessageCredential` security. However I am getting an error on the server side: MessageSecurityException: Security processor was unable to find a security header in the message. This might be because the message is an unsecured fault or because there is a binding mismatch between the communicating parties. This can occur if the service is configured for security and the client is not using security. Server Config: <service name="BrandDirector.ApplicationServer.Core.Services.UI.Products.Specifications.IngredientService" behaviorConfiguration="CredentialValidation"> <endpoint address="/BasicHttp" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BDBasicHttpBindingWithSecurity" contract="BrandDirector.ApplicationServer.Core.Services.UI.Products.Specifications.IIngredientService" /> <endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" /> </service> <behavior name="CredentialValidation"> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" /> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" /> <HttpStatusCode200Behavior /> <serviceCredentials type="BrandDirector.ApplicationServer.Core.Security.Authentication.PasswordServiceCredentials, BrandDirector.ApplicationServer.Core.Security, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral"> <userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom" customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="BrandDirector.ApplicationServer.Core.Security.CredentialValidator, BrandDirector.ApplicationServer.Core.Security" /> </serviceCredentials> </behavior> <extensions> <behaviorExtensions> <add name="HttpStatusCode200Behavior" type="BrandDirector.ApplicationServer.Core.Services.Common.ServiceModel.HttpStatusCode200BehaviorExtension, BrandDirector.ApplicationServer.Core.Services.Common" /> </behaviorExtensions> <basicHttpBinding> <binding name="BDBasicHttpBindingWithSecurity" messageEncoding="Text" maxReceivedMessageSize="655536"> <security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential" > <message clientCredentialType="UserName" /> </security> </binding> </basicHttpBinding> </extensions> Client Code: public class Activity1 : Activity { private Button button; const string address = "https://.../IngredientService.svc/BasicHttp";; protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle) { base.OnCreate(bundle); var timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0); var binding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportWithMessageCredential) { MessageEncoding = WSMessageEncoding.Text, Security = { Transport = { ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None, ProxyCredentialType = HttpProxyCredentialType.None }, Message = { ClientCredentialType = BasicHttpMessageCredentialType.UserName, } }, HostNameComparisonMode = HostNameComparisonMode.StrongWildcard, MaxReceivedMessageSize = 655536, ReaderQuotas = new System.Xml.XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas { MaxArrayLength = 655536, MaxStringContentLength = 655536, }, SendTimeout = timeout, OpenTimeout = timeout, ReceiveTimeout = timeout, }; System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += OnServerCertificateValidationCallback; SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main); button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.MyButton); button.Click += delegate { client = new IngredientServiceClient(binding, new EndpointAddress(address)); var clientCredential = client.ClientCredentials.UserName; clientCredential.UserName = "admin"; clientCredential.Password = "KDNSG7"; client.BeginGetIngredients("e", callBack, null); }; } IngredientServiceClient client; private void callBack(IAsyncResult ar) { var result = client.EndGetIngredients(ar); button.Text = result.First().Name; } // Ignore and certificate errors private bool OnServerCertificateValidationCallback(object sender, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors) { return true; } } This code works fine in WPF, the result is returned and all is well. I do see from older threads and the FAQ that the WCF is still early in the development cycle, but I just want to check if maybe I am doing something wrong first.
