VSS and Using of Proxy Server

VSS and Using of Proxy Server

• navisoft

  Hi Alin ,

  I assumed that than the IE-proxy settings are used.

  When I try to open the specified link by using of IE I get successfully the connection to the VSS web service. Of course, previously I setup proxy settings in IE.

  That means that the proxy connection is working.

  However, by trying to open the same VSS-project (at the same location) by using of VSS AddIn in VSTS, there are errors indicating that the page cannot be found.

  < xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

  We have tested this from two different locations (companies), which use two different proxies. If you are not sure, what the problem could be, I can send you the scanned “network-traffic”

  Hi Damir,
  
  VSS Internet plugin uses the proxy settings from InternetExplorer, so if you need to go through a proxy to access the service just set the proxy in IE in Tools/InternetOptions/Connections page.

  Hi Damir,
  
  Yes, IE-proxy settings are used by VSS plugin.
  Note that you must use RTM version of VSS - the support for proxies that require authentication was added late post Beta2

  What error message do you get exactly

  Hi Damir,
  
  Indeed, proxy support was added in more recent VSS builds (50723 if I'm not mistaken). However, I'm not sure if it's only the proxy causing this. 0x80072F78 means ERROR_WINHTTP_INVALID_SERVER_RESPONSE, so there might be something wrong with the server installation.
  Anyway, you should upgrade to the RTM version on both server and client and try again.

  Error:
  
  "Cannot conntact the Visual SourceSafe Internet WebSErvice or cannot access the specified database.
  The server returned the following error: The server returned an unrecognized response (0x80072F78)"
  
  VSTS Version we use: 8.0.50727.26
  VSS version we use: 8.0.50601.0
  
  I assume the currently used version does not support proxy.
