ASP.NET Exception: The remote name could not be resolved: 'apiconnector.com'

Question

As the title suggests, I\'m getting the following exception from an ASP.NET page

The remote name could not be resolved: \'apiconnector.com\'

Answer 1

Great I have deleted all the files and replaced with the updated vs2015 published file and it start working.

Answer 2

I finally managed to get this working, with the help of a colleague. The problem only occurs in specific conditions, in my case, this was on my development machine as part of a company domain. The domain uses a proxy server to manage web requests/responses. It turns out that our proxy server was blocking responses from apiconnector.com hence the exception; In addition to that we had to adjust the proxy settings in Internet Explorer as this provides the default settings in Visual Studio too (when configured correctly).

I cannot specify what was changed in terms of the proxy settings, as I stated, I was helped by a colleague; he managed this part of the resolution; However that only solved half of the problem...the exception was still occurring with Visual Studio, however the addition of the following XML to the web.config file resolved everything, and now it works!

<system.net>
  <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">
  </defaultProxy>
</system.net>

In my case, I can't solved with default proxy enabled setting. I solved with this configuration. Don't forget your proxy server port. Reference link

<configuration> 
   <system.net> 
     <defaultProxy> 
        <proxy 
           proxyaddress = "http://proxyserver:80" 
           bypassonlocal = "true" /> 
     </defaultProxy> 
  </system.net> 
</configuration>
