Hum... you certainly shouldn't be getting a 500, we'll have to investigate that.

One thing I can say is that the domain authentication token you submitted isn't syntactically valid. Did you edit it

before posting it?

Some more information:

Actually I go it from Idenitity.ExportAuthString

This is my request uri: "https://cumulus.services.live.com/XYZ@hotmail.com/LiveContacts/Contacts"

Also I am using RPS Auth and this is where I think I might be doing something wrong. I am getting the token using the method:

Identity.ExportAuthString, also I see that I can get a ticket using Identity.GetTicket("cumulus.services.live.com", true);

I am confused as to how I should get the auth token.

I am getting {"The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."}

I am just looking at your video on the mix site.

Thanks for helping

I have one more thing to add.

I am doing this on a form based application and am using Identity.Authenticate so I will not have direct access to the user password but according to MSDN the way to get the RPS token is have the password in the XML request. I think my problem is with getting a valid RPS token.

The Authorization header you are sending looks like this:

WLID1.0 t="AQ...Kl6iw="

However, it should look like this:

WLID1.0 t="t=AQ...Kl6iw="

The 't=' should be inserted as shown above.

In general, a RPS token will be of the form t=Base64encodedValue&queryparameter1=value1&queryparameter2=value2 etc. where queryparameterN is a alphabetic character.

Yes, the first "t=" is used by us, the second "t=" is used by RPS.

Could you clarify how I should get the rps token after I call Identity.Authenticate. Can I call ExportAuthString?
