silverlight does not work over a proxy connection

11-08-2007 9:40 AM |

Hi,

 

I have tried to access microsoft spotlight which uses silverlight to provide the videos of ms itforum events. But our company allows connection to the internet only through a proxy and silverlight returns an error:

 Silverlight error message

Error Code 4001

Error Type MediaError

Message: AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR

 

I found out that silverlight somehow disregards connection settings and it tries to access our proxy server on port 80 instead of port 8080 (using tcpview from sysinternals).

 I read about a similiar problem going through isa server, we use cisco proxies. When using WMPlayer it is said to be working.

 Can anybody help me on how we can solve this.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Regards

 

patrick

Patrick,

I found that problem before, you are going to need to use an AJAX Future Template to create an AJAX proxy. Download this template project from here

Hi Al,

 Thanks for answering. Can I as an end user do this myself or do I have to create this proxy programmatically by using the mentioned template? I have no idea what I shall be doing next.

 I hope I am not the only end user who has to work through a proxy wanting to watch microsoft spotlight videos. Is this proxy thing by design as always?

 Kind regards,

Patrick
