[Mono-aspnet-list] Apache mod_mono web service timeout exception not as expected

Thu Sep 24 09:15:55 EDT 2009

Hello guys,
   anybody can help?

Thanks and regards,

----------------------------------

Hi,

I have developed a web service that will run on Linux. I have an issue when
the web method called spend more time to run than timeount set in
Web.config.

I added these lines in web.config to manage timeout exception:

<system.web>
<!-- [...] -->
      <httpRuntime executionTimeout="1"
          maxRequestLength="4096"
          useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
          minFreeThreads="8"
          minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
          appRequestQueueLimit="100" />

      <customErrors mode="Off"/>
<!-- [...] -->
</system.web>

My web service is the following:

[WebMethod]
public string HelloWorld(int timeout)
{
     Thread.Sleep(timeout);   //milliseconds
     return "Hello World";
}

I tested timeout exception from remote machine using a test project from
Visual Studio with the following test:

        // Calling HelloWorld that sleeps 10 seconds but setting mod_mono
timeout just to 1 second.
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestWsUtilitiesHelloWorldTimeoutExceptionOnLinux()
        {
            PrepareDiskSoapClient c = new PrepareDiskSoapClient(
           "PrepareDiskSoap",
"http://[ipMachine]/[ProjectName]/PrepareNewVMDiskImage.asmx");

            c.HelloWorld(10000);
        }

As you can see I used a client/proxy created with WCF to call the web
service.
I also tried to use the client proxy automatically generated by mod_mono
application.

Anyway, in both scenarios an exception not just about the timeout is thrown.
Using mod_mono automatically generated client proxy the exception is the
following:

Test method
Reply.PrivateCloud.Tests.WsUtilitiesTest.TestTimeoutExceptionOnLinuxWithClientProxyGeneratedByLinux
threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Client found response
content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with the error message:

--.

Basically the client wait for a XML answer but receives an HTML answer.
Mod_mono is configured using AutoHosting method.

Could anyone help to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help,
Dante
