No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it?

Question

Sometimes I get the following error while I was doing HttpWebRequest to a WebService. I copied my code below too.

System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect         


        

Answer 1

When you call service which has only HTTP (ex: http://example.com) and you call HTTPS (ex: https://example.com), you get exactly this error - "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"
