ClientWebSocket with parameters in url in C#

Question

0

I am trying to connect a websocket with parameters in URL. Same url I can connect from python without any issues. But from c# I'm getting exception when I do the ConnectAsync Unable to connect to the remote server

Code Snippet:

System.Net.WebSockets.Managed.ClientWebSocket _clientWebSocket;
_clientWebSocket = new System.Net.WebSockets.Managed.ClientWebSocket();
var marketdatawithT = "wss://abc.com/api/st/co/? 
                               token=c2c49d92asf9b44925ec5f43b0ff5d9fdaeahdfjsbf2";
await _clientWebSocket.ConnectAsync(new Uri(marketdatawithT ), CancellationToken.None);

Any help why I'm not able to connect a WebSocketwith url as a parameter from c#? I can connect to endpoint which does not have URL without any issues. I have also tried to encode the url in token like below:

var marketdatawithT = "wss://abc.com/api/st/co/?token=" + 
                 System.Net.WebUtility.UrlEncode("c2c49d92asf9b44925ec5f43b0ff5d9fdaeahdfjsbf2");

But still see the same issue. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Maybe this is just a problem from copying and pasting your code into the forum. But you are doing

var marketdatawithT = "..."; NOTE the "withT" at the end

and then

await _clientWebSocket.ConnectAsync(new Uri(marketdata), ...); NOTE no "withT"

I.e., you are making the call with a different variable, which may not contain the expected token.

No need for UrlEncode; your token only contains letters and numbers, not anything that has to be encoded.
