    GetXmlDocumentByUrl and Proxy

    API Questions

    Hi,

    I'm running Umbraco on my local machine for development purposes but I'm having some trouble calling a webservice.

    I can run the webservice in my browser fine but when my local umbraco calls it I get:

    System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at umbraco.library.GetXmlDocumentByUrl(String Url)

    I think this might be because my browser runs through a proxy but I'm assuming IIS doesn't?

    Any help is much appreciated!

    Perhaps this could be a future addition in Umbraco? I've seen other web applications where a proxy can be specified.

    Thanks,

    Ed

    All I can say is that your assumption about IIS not going through a proxy is correct. I had the same problem, and all I did was to tell the network admin to allow the webservice's url without proxy and that fixed the issue. I'll get back to you if I find out more about this, sorry I cannot help more right now. Also there may be some software that will enable you to bypass the proxy, try to search on that.
