  System.Net.HttpWebRequest error - operation has time out

  Dec 21, 2012 06:14 AM|LINK

  I am showing rss feeds on my asp.net web site. It works fine on localhost as well as one hosting server. But it is not working on client's hosting server. It is giving error 'The operation has time out' in the following code snippet,

  XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(this.RssFeedUrl, settings

  Please help.

  Could be a number of things.

  Does the client hosting server have a firewall blocking your request?

  What trust level is client server using... medium?

  To test the firewall issue quickly I would disable.. test.. re-enable.

  I learn by helping others. I may not always be correct but my intentions are good. If my answer helps please mark it as so.

  But Now another issue has aarived -

  System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden

     using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(this.RssFeedUrl, settings))

  Here is my code:

  {

             SyndicationFeed feed = null;
  
              XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
              settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true;
              settings.CheckCharacters = true;
              settings.CloseInput = true;
              settings.IgnoreComments = true;
              settings.IgnoreProcessingInstructions = true;
           
              if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.RssFeedUrl))
              {
                  using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(this.RssFeedUrl, settings))
                  {
                      SyndicationFeedFormatter GenericFeedFormatter = null;
                      Atom10FeedFormatter atom = new Atom10FeedFormatter();
                      Rss20FeedFormatter rss = new Rss20FeedFormatter();
  
                      if (reader.ReadState == ReadState.Initial)
                      {
                          reader.MoveToContent();
                      }
                      // try either atom or rss reading
                      if (atom.CanRead(reader))
                      {
                          GenericFeedFormatter = atom;
                      }
                      if (rss.CanRead(reader))
                      {
                          GenericFeedFormatter = rss;
                      }
                      if (GenericFeedFormatter == null)
                      {
                          return null;
                      }
                      GenericFeedFormatter.ReadFrom(reader);
                      feed = GenericFeedFormatter.Feed;
                  }
              }
              return feed;
          }
          catch {}

  Hi,

  As your error occured in this line, please check your this.RssFeedUrl and settings parameters. Using a known url for the file containing the XML data to test your setting is correct or not. If your setting is correct, please make sure your this.RssFeedUrl parameter.

  Here is a thread which is similar to your error message, it may help you.

  Hi,

  Thanks for your interest. The issue has been solved. It was also the same server settings issue. The hosting server has fixed this by firewall settings.

  Thank u all.. :-)
