I have a client application that uses WebHttpRequest to get response from external server, it works fine but some times I’m getting the following exception ….
System.Net.WebException: Unable to
connect to the remote server —>
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: 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

…. Any help?
This is more of a “Request Timed Out” error. The server you are trying to connect to did not respond to your request. You should handle this exception using try-catch and attempt to connect n number of times again in the catch block.
