Hi,



We tried with CityWeather Webservice example given in Introducing .NET by

Wrox Press. We have created CityWeather and TestCityWeather applications in

wwwroot. While running Webservice it gives the error: 



System.Net.WebException: The system was unable to submit the request: The

remote name could not be resolved.

   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.CheckFinalStatus()

   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult AsyncResult)

   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

   at CityWeather.CityWeather.GetWeather(String strZipCode) in

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\CityWeather\CityWeather.vb:line 59



Machine which has Webservice is connected to Internet through Proxy. But if

intranet address (our intranet web) is given for URI, it works fine. We

tested the URL "http://weather.searchwho.com/cgi-bin/myweather.pl" in the

Browser directly and it returns the weather details. Suggestions and

Solutions would be appreciated. 



  

GetWeather Web Method: 



    Public Function <WebMethod()> GetWeather(ByVal strZipCode As String) _

                                                                  As String

        ' -- Declare variables

        Dim strResult As String   ' Our result

        Dim strHTML As String     ' The HTML we expect back

        Dim strURI As String      ' The URL/URI we are going to hit

        Dim objWRQ As System.Net.WebRequest   ' The Request object

        Dim objWRS As System.Net.WebResponse       ' The Response object

        Dim objWRF As System.Net.WebRequestFactory ' The Request object

creator

        Dim objStream As System.IO.StreamReader  ' The stream of data coming

back

        

        ' -- SearchWho.com URL to access

        Const WEATHER_URI As String 

"http://weather.searchwho.com/cgi-bin/myweather.pl"

        ' -- 1. Build our URL using the Zip code sent in

        strURI = WEATHER_URI & "?loc="  & strZipCode

        ' -- 2. Create a Request object based on our URI, 

        'and call the remote server

        objWRQ = objWRF.Create(strURI)

        ' -- 3. Get the response back from the remote server

        objWRS = objWRQ.GetResponse()   ----> error occurs here

        ' -- 4. Read the response into a String format

        objStream = New System.IO.StreamReader(objWrs.GetResponseStream(), _

 

System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)
