RSS Viewer : RssWebPart: Exception handed Fix

While configuring the RSS Web part on mysite I got  RssWebPart: Exception handed to HandleRuntimeException.HandleException System.Net.WebException: The remote name could not be resolved.  After some research I found some links to fix the issues.

You face this issue if you are using proxy server at your environment.  You just need to provide the proxy address in you site web.config. e.g.

<system.net>
      <defaultProxy>
         <proxy usesystemdefault = "false" proxyaddress="http://proxyservername" bypassonlocal="true" />
      </defaultProxy>
   </system.net> 

 

You can also use it the following way http://proxyservername:1234.

But because I was not aware what kind of proxy my client will use after deployment I use the following code

<system.net>
      <defaultProxy>
         <proxy usesystemdefault = "true" bypassonlocal="true" />
      </defaultProxy>
   </system.net>
