在本地主机时如何调用Web服务

Question

I do not have IIS, I use my localhost that comes with Visual Studio, I am not sure how to make a service call work if I am using localhost. It tells me "Unable to connect to remote server" , Is there a way I can make a webservice call work using localhost?. Here is my code:

    public void CallService()
    {
        WebRequest requestweb = WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/WebServices/MyTestService/HelloWorld");
        requestweb.Method = "GET";
        //Line below returns "Unable to connect to remote server"
        WebResponse response = requestweb.GetResponse();
        Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
        Stream data = response.GetResponseStream();
        response.Close();
    }

Would truly appreciate an advice on this. Thank you

Open the website you're trying to connect to in your favorite web browser. Copy the value from your location bar and paste it as the parameter to WebRequest.Create .

You can use a simple Java TCP tunnel.

Download this Java app & just tunnel the traffic back.

In command prompt, you'd then run the java app like this... Let's assume you want external access on port 80 and your standard debug environment runs on port 1088...

java -jar tunnel.jar 80 localhost 1088
