Windows Phone ConnectionRequest does not work

[maxim...@gmail.com]

Hello!

Create ConnectionRequest to any url.
Windows Phone emulator ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27570 ) does not work. Request fails with following exception

System.ArgumentException: This header must be modified with the appropriate property. at
System.Net.WebHeaderCollection.ThrowOnRestrictedHeader(String name, String value) at
System.Net.WebHeaderCollection.set_Item(String name, String value) at

com.codename1.io.NetworkManager_2NetworkThread.run()


See Restricted headers http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webheadercollection%28v=vs.95%29.aspx

I'm not using any headers.
But ConnectionRequest is

protected void initConnection(Object connection) {
        timeSinceLastUpdate = System.currentTimeMillis();
        CodenameOneImplementation impl = Util.getImplementation();
        impl.setPostRequest(connection, isPost());

        if(getUserAgent() != null) {
            impl.setHeader(connection, "User-Agent", getUserAgent());
        }

        if(getContentType() != null) {
            impl.setHeader(connection, "Content-Type", getContentType());
        }

        if(userHeaders != null) {
            Enumeration e = userHeaders.keys();
            while(e.hasMoreElements()) {
                String k = (String)e.nextElement();
                String value = (String)userHeaders.get(k);
                impl.setHeader(connection, k, value);
            }
        }
    }

private String contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8";
private String userAgent = getDefaultUserAgent();

Hi,
I'm guessing you are targeting the Windows Phone 7 port which has quite a few problems. The Windows Phone 8 port should work better.

[maxim...@gmail.com]

Yes, I'm using WP7.
Is it supported and bug will be fixed?

[Shai Almog]

We don't have any short term plans in that direction. Windows Phone 7 is completely incompatible with 8 and effectively dead, so this isn't something we are looking into right now.

Is there any workaround?

Is it possible to submit fix to svn?

Is it possible to build offline?

The workaround is using Windows Phone 8.
Do you mean a fix contributed by yourself? Some developers have contributed fixes for the Windows Phone 8 but 7 didn't get much attention.
I know one developer at least was able to build offline for Windows Phone 8 which isn't too different. We only provide support for offline build to our enterprise customers.

I don't think it's possible to use WP8 jn WP7 device.

Yes, I mean a fix contributed by myself. Is it possible?

No it won't run on a Windows Phone 7 device but very few of them were sold, fewer than Bada devices.
Everything is possible, we got a few Windows Phone 8 contributions the code for Windows Phone 7 shouldn't be that different. You should also be able to backport quite a few of the fixes to 7 although most of the architecture (UI etc.) is completely different.
