The web service call gives "Unable to connect to the remote server error",

Question

I am invoking a web service from a .net development environment located on my company server. Until yesterday, everything was working fine, and it was returning the correct data. However, today it unexpectedly gives me the error "Unable to connect to the remote server . " I entered the service url in the browser and it works fine. Does anyone know what this issue might be about?

Answer 1

The first thing that comes to my mind is that the proxy configuration is now different from your application and your browser. Alternatively, it could be an antivirus program running on your computer with an updated configuration.

Answer 2

Just remove the web service from the application link and add .. it will work again. The error only occurs because the web service port number has changed.
