In order to use Secure Input ( https://help.genesys.com/pureconnect/mergedprojects/wh_tr/desktop/pdfs/secure_input_tr.pdf ),
we created a custom handler, which is using a  web service we built  to validate the secure session input values.  The handler is able to connect to our web  service, and we are receiving the correct  information from the secure form  but   "Secure Session Info Validate"  tool cannot return output variable and always goes to the fail state.

According to the documentation, the output of our web service should looks like the below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<outcome value="accepted" details="That number was good" />

Our web service creates the response in what looks like the correct format, but it doesn't work.   Not sure if it's helpful, but here's our C# code for that method:

        public IActionResult Validate([FromBody]SubmissionParams requestMessage)

        {

            Request.Headers.Add("Accept", "application/xml");

            var response = new Outcome

            {

                value = "accepted",

                details = "That number was good"

            };

           

            var validateResult = $"<outcome value='{response.value}' details='{response.details}'/>";

 

            XmlDocument result = new XmlDocument();

            result.LoadXml(validateResult);

 

            // Create an XML declaration.

            XmlDeclaration xmldecl;

            xmldecl = result.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", null, null);

            xmldecl.Encoding = "UTF-8";

 

            // Add the new node to the document.

            XmlElement root = result.DocumentElement;

            result.InsertBefore(xmldecl, root);

            return Ok(result);

        }

When we call the POST method using the Postman app ( Postman | The Collaboration Platform for API Development  )  we are not seeing the xml declaration even thought it's defined it in the method.



When we use Fiddler to capture the actual response from the web service, it looks like the following:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
 Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8
 Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0
 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
 Date: Fri, 05 Jun 2020 15:55:57 GMT
 Content-Length: 59
<outcome value="accepted" details="That number was good" />

Handler looks like:







Can anybody tell me what the issue with my response in the method? And why handler tool fails?

thank you!
