System.Net.WebException: The remote name could not be resolved: 'test.authorize.net' at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream(TransportContext& context) at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()

I gets the above error when it fires the Credit card API on server while it works totally fine on local.


error comes at
:
// post data is sent as a stream
           StreamWriter myWriter  = null;
           myWriter = new StreamWriter(objRequest.GetRequestStream());
           myWriter.Write(post_string);
           myWriter.Close();



Full code is:

test.authorize.net looks like a placeholder that you need to replace with your actual authorisation server. When I try a ping to it, it has a registered IP but I get a 'destination net unreachable' on half the packets and timeout on the others.

I had the same problem.Are you deploying the site on SSL ?

The authorize.net APIs communicate via a specific port ( you need to find this out) and the ports on the server are blocked by default.

Once you find out the port, you can ask your system administrator to open this port for you.
