Publish to Azure Service Bus over http behind proxy

I have tested on latest release and seems the issue is still exits.

Could not connect to net.tcp://abc.servicebus.windows.net:9354/. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:21.0500000. TCP error code 10060: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 65.52.160.127:9354

Can anyone please guide me on this.

Thanks.

Answer 1

We have made improvements here with SDK 1.8, specifically for older proxies. Please set the ConnectivityMode to AutoDetect for ServiceBus client and give it a try.

Answer 2

I solved this problem by setting ConnectivityMode to Http and specifying the proxy I want to use in app.config. It is a global state for the application, but it worked for my scenarios so maybe it is helpful here also. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kd3cf2ex.aspx

In my scenario the configuration was to ignore the proxy:

 <system.net>
   <defaultProxy>
     <proxy usesystemdefault="False" />
   </defaultProxy>
 </system.net>
