I am hitting a wall with reCaptcha.net
Some background –
I am using reCaptcha-dotnet v1.0.5 which I got from http://code.google.com/p/recaptcha/downloads/list?q=label:aspnetlib-Latest.
I was able to develop a site and make it work locally with reCaptcha validation. When I deploy it to the server (the site is hosted on 1and1.com), I am getting the error below –
The operation has timed out
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more
information about the error and where it originated in the code.Exception Details: System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed
out
I have checked the google forums which advise to have the server allow outbound connections from Port 80. I tried to explain this to the support guy at 1and1.com but I don’t think he has a clue at all.
Other than the above, is there anything I could do code-wise to resolve this? Has anybody figured a solution for this?
Appreciate any kind of advise!
Finally got the solution, I got the correct proxy server address from 1and1 and used that. reCaptcha works great now.
Also, for some reason, setting the proxy value in the code using the IWebProxy property of the reCaptcha control did not work. I had to add the tag in web.config under .
