Internal Server Error when trying to GET windows Live Contacts

Dear 'little miss confused":

However, by looking at your code, I suspect the problem might be on how the Authorization header is constructed. It should be of the form:

Authorization: WLID1.0 t="<RPS Token>"

But the code you have to add the authorization header:

request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "WLID1.0 t=\"t=" + oID.ExportAuthString() + "=\"");

will produce somthing like this:

Authorization: WLID1.0 t="t=<RPS Token>="

In the text above, I marked in red the stuff I think is redundant (the additional 't=' before the token and the '=' at the end) but I might be wrong because I'm not familiar with the token that the WL ID client returns. I'll investigate a little more about the WLID client to see if I'm right or not.

In the meantime, try this code to generate the authorization header and let me know if it works:

request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "WLID1.0 t=\"" + oID.ExportAuthString() + "\"" );

Also, the problem might be with how you generate the token with WL ID client. You need to get a ticket using the MBI policy. How are you getting the ticket? Are you using Ws-Trust? If you are, check your PolicyReference on the XML for the call to Ws-Trust is defined as “MBI” as shown below.

<wspolicyReference URI = ""MBI""></wspolicyReference>

Let me know if these suggestions work!

P.S: A 500: Internal Server error typically indicates a problem with our server, not with your code so I'll check why we are returning that error.

Great! I'm happy it worked. Let us know if you have other problems.
