How do I trigger an Azure Webjob with a http call?

@MarkP These are the steps that I followed to trigger my webjob. Can you try them and let me know the outcome?

1. Create a WebJob: Ensure your WebJob is set up correctly in your Azure App Service. It sounds like you've already done this.
2. Get the WebJob URL:
   • The URL format for triggering a WebJob is typically: https://<your-app-service-name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/triggeredwebjobs/<your-webjob-name>/run.
     • Replace <your-app-service-name> with the name of your Azure App Service and <your-webjob-name> with the name of your WebJob.
3. Authentication:
   • You need to authenticate your HTTP request. This can be done using basic authentication with your App Service's publishing credentials.
     • You can find these credentials in the Azure portal under your App Service > Deployment Center > FTP/Credentials.
4. Send the HTTP Request:
   • Use a tool like Postman or write a script to send an HTTP POST request to the WebJob URL with the necessary authentication headers.

Here's an example using C# and HttpClient:

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        var webJobUrl = "https://<your-app-service-name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/triggeredwebjobs/<your-webjob-name>/run";
        var userName = "<your-username>";
        var password = "<your-password>";

        using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            var byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes($"{userName}:{password}");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray));

            var response = await client.PostAsync(webJobUrl, null);
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("WebJob triggered successfully.");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Failed to trigger WebJob. Status code: {response.StatusCode}");
            }
        }
    }
}

If you encounter issues like "no route registered" or 404 errors, double-check the URL format and ensure your WebJob is correctly deployed and accessible. Also, verify that your App Service is running and that the WebJob is in the correct state.
