desperate call for help: "The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server.

[David]

I have a web service running on a server.

With my brower, I can get the asmx page and get the expected output on the
page.

With a console application, I can call the webservice and retrieve from it
what I am supposed to retrieve.

Only when an ASP.NET application calls the web service, do I get the "the
underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server"
error message.

The only relevent msdn page
([url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;819450[/url]) isn't very
helpful. It says MS has confirmed it as a bug, and says to contact them
for a fix!!!! And there might be a charge! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

The last time I contacted them, it was like talking to a wall.

Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi David,

Have you tried setting the proxy-side keep alives to "false"? This may
remedy the situation.

Is that a IIS setting?

Do you mean HTTP Keep-Alives enabled? I tried that and it still does not
work.

Hi David,

No, not on the IIS side. On the proxy side. In the proxy that was
generated when you did an add-web-reference, there is a setting that
governs when/if the proxy requests a keep alive.

I hope this helps
