REST calling REST

2016-06-19 Thread Greg Keogh
I sure I did this years ago, but maybe it was SOAP or REST, or a mix, I'm not sure now. Today I've got a REST service A calling a REST service B and it stalls on the await HttpClient.SendAsync in A. I can run the same code from an NUnit test okay. Surely this isn't impossible. Is there some trick

I think that I wasn't clear. I meant that they staggered the ticket sales to give more people a chance *because they knew from past experience that there would be such a shortfall of tickets.* I see nothing unfair about the staggering. The part I am upset about is the conscious decision to put on

I think that's fairly cynical to think they were trying to exclude people - they were actually trying to stagger it so more people had a chance, if they were unable to even get to a computer on a single particular day, from what I understand. I hope to see you too - and keep an eye out - there's u

Hi Andrew. Firstly, well done on securing tickets - I hope you have a fantastic day (genuinely, not sarcastic). I hear what you are saying but I must respectfully disagree. Yes, each room requires more management - but the jump from 2 rooms to 3 is bigger than 3 to 4. If the aim is to disseminate

It happens. We were lucky to get tickets this year, and it was only allowing 1 per login - but a few of my team got them. The thing is, I can understand the organisers not wanting to grow it bigger, and even if they had more rooms/more sessions - that would require more management, and the risk t

Well, there are a sizeable number of tickets allocated to the sponsors. Perhaps we need to set up another conference: not the DDD. On 20 Jun 2016 2:06 PM, "David Burstin" wrote: > > > Missed out again. Again sat refreshing the page. This time I got the magic > "Register" button, clicked it and i

Missed out again. Again sat refreshing the page. This time I got the magic "Register" button, clicked it and it said "join waitlist". This was at 2:01pm. So three weeks in a row unable to get a ticket. Maybe some genius will realize that they need a bigger venue next year. Given how quickly tic
