    Any alternative class for "ServicePointManager" class in Windows Phone 7 Framework?

    Jan 13, 2011 05:08 AM | LINK

    I need to avail functionality given by "ServicePointManager" class in windows phone 7 but that class is not present for WP7 framework. Is there any other class which gives this functionality?

    Actual requirement is: I need to allow any certificate while making HTTPS connection.

    Now its giving me following exception:

    System.Net.WebException

    Message=The remote server returned an error: NotFound


    System.Net.WebException
           Message=The remote server returned an error: NotFound


    wp7 https ssl WebException ServicePointManager

    Cheers,
    Nathan

    The behavior of WP7 should be similar to teh common Silverlight, thus have a look at http://ajdotnet.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/communicationexception-notfound/

    But I'm getting "Not Found" Exception due to HTTPS certification issue! I want to ignore that error and continue with the HTTPS connection. This can be done using "ServicePointManager" class which is not present in Windows Phone 7 Framework!!! Frown

    I'm afraid, your're stuck, ServicePointManager is not available in Silverlight (any version).

    The douc just hints at this limitation (by not describing it): see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg521147(v=VS.92).aspx "protecting communication..."

    You're not the only one discovering this gap, though: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/368047/add-system-net-servicepointmanager-servercertificatevalidationcallback-property
