This is the c# code which i use to bypass proxy to access the webservice since my system is using proxy. iam using VS 2010 and using the webservice in my windows application.

C#

WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = new WebProxy("http://IN02S10004:80/", true);

But still i get the error as follows.

C#

system.invalidoperationexception client found response content type of text/html but expected 'text/xml'

also tried with the following code in app.config also

C#

<system.net>
   <defaultProxy>
     <proxy usesystemdefault="false"
         proxyaddress="http://IN02S10004:80"
         bypassonlocal="true"/>
     <bypasslist>
       <add address="http://www.webservicex.net/periodictable.asmx"/>
     </bypasslist>
   </defaultProxy>
 </system.net>

Solution 1

Perhaps you need to login to the proxy?

WebProxy provides a constructor that takes credentials for Proxies[^]

Best bet is have a look at the HTML you're getting back instead of XML - it probably has some info in it

Hello,
I strongly suspect there is an issue with web service. The issue may not be with consuming web service. Try to access web service from outside your application.
