For a deeper look into our World Check One API, look into:
Bytes to be written to the stream exceed the Content-Length bytes size specified.
Hi,
I am getting this error while passing Unicode string, For example when I am screening a name
ÖMER HİRFANOĞLU
I am getting error
"Bytes to be written to the stream exceed the Content-Length bytes size specified."
How I can send this text so that it can screen without any error.
Currently I am using UTF8Encoding
UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
byte[] byte1 = encoding.GetBytes(postData);
Here is my code
string postData = "{\"entityType\":\"" + entityType + "\",\"groupId\":\"" + groupId + "\",\"providerTypes\":[\"WATCHLIST\"],\"name\":\"" + screenText + "\"}";
string msg = postData;
var contentLength = msg.Length; UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
byte[] byte1 = encoding.GetBytes(postData);
// for the API server to decode the authorization signature
string dataToSign = "(request-target): post " + gatewayurl + "cases/screeningRequest\n" +
"host: " + gatewayhost + "\n" + // no https only the host name
"date: " + date + "\n" + // GMT date as a string
"content-type: " + "application/json" + "\n" +
"content-length: " + contentLength + "\n" +
msg;
string authorisation = "Signature keyId=\"" + apikey + "\",algorithm=\"hmac-sha256\",headers=\"(request-target) host date content-type content-length\",signature=\"" + hmac + "\"";
hmy-documentscode-v12cwc1postrequestcs.txt@ziad.abourizk,
Thank you for the information.
From the above provided information, it seems that you are using the variable 'byte1' for holding the UTF-8 encoded value. However, you are not calculating the length of this encoded value, which might be the reason for calculation of incorrect contentLength. Can you please try calculating the content length of the UTF-8 converted postData and see the outcome?
contentLength = byte1.length;
I am attaching code example (c#) file to this reply for your reference.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the query.
Can you please confirm us the content length which is being calculated for the request body which you are sending in the POST request?
Also, can you please let us know the programing lanaguage which you are using?
Hi,
I am using C#.Net.
{"entityType":"ORGANISATION","groupId":"xxx","providerTypes":["WATCHLIST"],"name":"ERMAKSAN GEMİ VE TEKNE YAN SANAYI"}
contentLength : 151
DatatoSign:
(request-target): post /v1/cases/screeningRequest
host: rms-world-check-one-api.thomsonreuters.com

content-type: application/json
content-length: 151
{"entityType":"ORGANISATION","groupId":"xxx","providerTypes":["WATCHLIST"],"name":"ERMAKSAN GEMİ VE TEKNE YAN SANAYI"}
authorization:
Signature keyId="xxx",algorithm="hmac-sha256",headers="(request-target) host date content-type content-length",signature="a9BEW7NOlLWs7hpUV26EswbVUjHt/pjo57/Qfkz8Tbw="
Thank you very much. It works.
