What causes HttpHostConnectException?

Question

I have a Auto Complete/type ahead feature on Search for my website. I see that some time their is an exception associated with it. We are using a proxy server.

Answer 1

In my case the issue was a missing 's' in the HTTP URL. Error was: "HttpHostConnectException: Connect to someendpoint.com:80 [someendpoint.com/127.0.0.1] failed: Connection refused" End point and IP obviously changed to protect the network.
