    WebRequest and other server to internet calls

    Does anyone know the proxy info so I can use webrequests for services like getting rss feeds making server to website calls and other response streams. Here is a message that I sent to support but havent heard anything back yet. I am on one of the VPS plans and didnt have a problem on the pro.net plan last year with these calls.

     [027-0FB74DCC-70BB]

    Here is a more detaild view of the error. Seems like I need to add the web proxy address to my web.config. Do you know what that is?

    NEED TO ADD THE PROXY TO THE WEB.CONFIG:
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/318140

    <defaultProxy>

    <proxy usesystemdefault="False" proxyaddress="http://proxyserver:port " bypassonlocal="True" />

    </defaultProxy> -->

     

    ERROR MESSAGE

    ----------------------------------------

    I am trying to perform a simple HttpWebRequest and it works fine at home on my server but not when I send it to Ultima. Is there some setting I need to allow for this communication? It does not even throw errors; Here is my result at home and at work.

    Re: WebRequest and other server to internet calls

    Back when I hosted with 1and1, I had to use a proxy.  But when I moved to Ultima I no longer needed a proxy.  I'm thinking it may be a setting on your VPS, but I'm not sure what.
