Hi to All,

I am behind the proxy and proxy will authentication. Because of that

, I am facing lots of problem for Downloading files from Web Server as well Uploading Files to Web Server. So, I decided to Install Web server in my Desktop itself, So that it's easy to test my Application. After installing Web server, I can open my Text File Using Following URL http://127.0.0.1/testData.txt Through Web Browser.

When I tried this URL to Download Text file from Android,I am getting “Connection refused” :?:

:!: Exception.
Can you Help me to Solve this problem ,

Please.... .
I have attached my Coding here. (I have deleted proxy settings from emulator. )

Hello venkat,

note that "127.0.0.1" is the emulator itself :!:

The IP to use is probably sth like: 192.168.X.X or 10.10.X.X.

Type ipconfig to the Windows Cmdline or ifconfig to your LinuxShell on your Desktop-PC and search for such a IP.

i try to use yout example, but i cannot to my local webserver. Have you any idea what my problem is?

Failure Mesage:
10.0.2.218/10.0.2.218:80 - Operation Failed

P.S.
The Problem is: i am in a network with 10.0.2.x and the emulator also in the ip range. How can i change the ip range of the emulator?

Unfortunately i cannot change the network in my company. Are there no other possibilities?
