I've seen a few AtD users having issues with the issue of creating a proxy for AtD server requests in a c# environment, so I thought I'd post mine here.
I'm running the proxy within an ASP.NET MVC application, using jQuery and AtD's checkTextarea API method.
In my jquery.atd.textarea.js, I need to configure the rpc (for jQuery.ajax calls from the AtD API check method) and rpc_css (for CSSHttpRequest calls from the AtD API checkCrossAJAX method) properties to hit the proxy on my web server:
Here's the entire proxy class itself (AtDProxyHandler.cs):
using System.Configuration; using System.IO; using System.Net; using System.Web; using System.Web.Routing;
namespace [YourProjectNamespace].Helpers { /// <summary> /// Definition of the AtDProxyHandler class that receives routing requests, as defined in Helpers.RouteMapping, calls the AfterTheDeadline server and returns the result. /// </summary> public class AtDProxyHandler : IHttpHandler, IRouteHandler { #region Constructor
/// <summary> /// Initializes a new instance of the AtDProxyHandler class. /// </summary> public AtDProxyHandler() { ProxiedUrl = string.Format( "{0}/{1}?{2}=", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AtDServer"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SpellCheckUrl"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SpellCheckDataId"] ); }
#endregion
#region Properties
/// <summary> /// Gets or sets the proxied URL that will be called by ProcessRequest. /// </summary> public string ProxiedUrl { get; set; }
/// <summary> /// Gets a value indicating whether the handler IsReusable. /// </summary> public bool IsReusable { get { return true; } }
#endregion
/// <summary> /// Implements the ProcessRequest method required by IHttpHandler. /// </summary> /// <param name="context">The HttpContext wrapping the request.</param> public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { // assemble a new HTTP request to the proxied URL string dataId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SpellCheckDataId"].ToString(); string data = context.Request.RequestType == "GET" ? context.Request.QueryString[dataId] : context.Request.Form[dataId]; string requestStr = string.Format("{0}{1}", ProxiedUrl, data); HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(requestStr); request.Method = "GET";
// get the response from the AtD server HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
/// <summary> /// Implements the GetHttpHandler method required by IHttpHandler. /// </summary> /// <param name="requestContext">The HttpContext wrapping the request.</param> /// <returns>A valid HttpHandler instance.</returns> public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext) { return this; } }
}
You'll notice in the class constructor that I've tried to make this generic, and use a number of web.config setting to abstract the server URL (I pick that up later in my Windows service):
In order for a request to hit this class (bearing in mind that my application is MVC based), you'll need a route configuring in your Global.asax.cs RegisterRoutes() method:
// custom routes :
// spell-checking proxy string[] allowedMethods = { "GET", "POST" }; HttpMethodConstraint methodConstraints = new HttpMethodConstraint(allowedMethods); routes.Add( new Route( "{name}/{*everythingelse}", new RouteValueDictionary(), new RouteValueDictionary(new { name = "CheckSpelling.Proxy", httpMethod = methodConstraints }), new [YourProjectNamespace].Helpers.AtDProxyHandler() ) );
// the default controller/action route interpreter for an MVC application routes.MapRoute( "Default", // Route name "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = string.Empty } // Parameter defaults );
And that's it. You can put a breakpoint in the ProcessRequest() method and have hours of fun watching your request and response

I'm not sure I followed the first part of this: ---------------------------------- In my jquery.atd.textarea.js, I need to configure the rpc (for jQuery.ajax calls from the AtD API check method) and rpc_css (for CSSHttpRequest calls from the AtD API checkCrossAJAX method) properties to hit the proxy on my web server:
rpc: 'CheckSpelling.proxy', rpc_css: 'CheckSpelling.proxy?data=', ---------------------------------- I've added the custom route, the web.config stuff, and the proxy but not sure how to use it... Do I need to edit the jScript files that AtD use?

Exactly - find the variables rpc and rpc_css in jquery.atd.textarea.js and edit those as shown... Then when you call checkTextArea() it should hit your proxy class's ProcessRequest method - put a breakpoint in there to see it get hit

Well you should already know that your service is working from entering that browser URL while it was running, so all you have to do is join the dots to it from the front end jquery via the proxy. That's the easier bit.
I'm testing my version 2 of jquery.atd.textarea.js and will be passing it to the redesign group next week. Hopefully they'll approve my re-architecture of it and we can release the initial version soon.
Good luck anyway
Cheers Ian

Thanks, you have helped me so much!
I tried some other products, wasted half a day on JSpell Evolution for the VP just to find out that it is very buggy. I am going to recommend AtD!
I am about to test the complete AtD local server/proxy in my MVC project, I'll let you know how it goes. :)

Yes, my service is working fine, I hit it with the data querystring and it displays the xml results...
I am not hitting my proxy right now after making all the changes in the MVC piece... I hope this piece is easier, I don't have another couple of days on this. ;)
You mention "for jQuery.ajax calls from the AtD API check method)"
I was using the jQuery (jquery.atd.textarea.js) Should I be using jquery.atd.js instead?

Again forgive me, I don't have the code in front of me (it's after midnight and I'm in the bath!)...
You should be able to set a JavaScript breakpoint inside jquery.atd.textarea.js's checkTextArea() function using Firebug (for Firefox) or the script debugger in Chrome, then see your textarea replaced with a div, and finally a call to the proxy URL via the check() function... Or maybe you're calling checkCrossAjax() instead?
If you like, I can document the front end, illustrating the entire chain of function calls (I was thinking of writing a cradle-to-grave article aimed at MVC projects tomorrow anyway, and have most of it down)...
I'll be in the office in 9 hours time, and can send it an hour later.

Ha! Very brave! Still, without stretching ourselves, life would be boring, huh?
I know the feeling - I had to do the same, then train my colleagues shortly afterwards (only with NHibernate instead of EF)
Never looked back though - so stick with it, its worth it! You have my admiration for your bravery!
