This class is used for sending a request to Gigya Service.

 

Properties

Type Name Description
string APIDomain The domain of the data center to be used for making API calls. You may override the default domain "gigya.com" and specify an alternative data center to be used. For example: "eu1.gigya.com" for Europe data center.
static bool EnableConnectionPooling
This flag tells the SDK to try and reuse connections to the gigya servers, in order to lower the overheads associated with creating new connections, and to reduce latency. The default value is true. The drawback of long-lived connections is that they may become stale after a while, failing the next request sent on top of them. The SDK attempts to avoid that problem by purging old connections and re-issuing failed requests (just once). If, however, you encounter many failed requests to the Gigya API, you can try turning this feature off.
static int MaxConcurrentConnections
The maximum number of concurrent connections that can remain open to the Gigya servers, assuming EnableConnectionPooling flag was enabled (see above). The default value is 100.
static bool BlockWhenConnectionsExhausted
This property determines whether to block your thread when you attempt to send a new request while all connections are in use.
The default value is true, meaning the SDK will block your thread until a connection frees up. The drawback is that this adds a bit of overhead per request.
If you set this property to false, .Net will queue your requests (as of .Net 3.5).
The disadvantages of this option are that queued requests are delayed significantly (could even reach hours) and are stored in memory. If you send requests faster than the connections pool is able to handle, you risk running out of memory eventually.

Methods

Method Description
static string BuildQS(bool addQuestionMark,
               GSObject paramDictionary)		 Converts a GSObject to a query string. Parameters:
  • addQuestionMark - if set to 'true', the returned string will start with a question mark.
  • paramDictionary - the GSObject to convert.
GSObject GetParams() Returns a GSObject containing the parameters of this request.
GSResponse Send() Sends the request synchronously. The method returns a GSResponse object which represents Gigya's response.
GSResponse Send(int timeout) Sends the request synchronously. The method returns a GSResponse object which represents Gigya's response. Parameters:
  • timeout - using this parameter you may set a timeout to this request. The timeout is the number of milliseconds till returning timeout response. If the timeout expires, the server will return a response with a "Request Timeout" error (error code 504002).
IAsyncResult BeginSend(AsyncCallback callback,
                    object state)		 Sends the request asynchronously. The method returns an object that implements IAsyncResult representing the status of the asynchronous request on which you can wait. See the Calling Synchronous Methods Asynchronously topic. Parameters:
  • callback - references a method to be called when the response is received.
  • state - a developer-defined object that qualifies or contains information about the asynchronous operation. The object is passed back unchanged to the application, as the AsyncState field inside the IAsyncResult parameter of the callback method.

See the Using an AsyncCallback Delegate and State Object topic.
void SetParam(string param,
