I am running into a problem debugging a Windows Forms application which downloads updates from an ASPNET2 website. The Forms
applicaiton is .NET v1.1
The problem is a security exception on the call to WebClient.DownloadFile() ("target machine actively refuses the connection...").
The site that I am trying to download from is an ASPNET2 website running on my local development machine, which is the same machine
where I am trying to debug the Forms application (I have the ASPNET2 website running while attempting the download. I know it's
reachable from the Forms app because a number of other webservices calls against it succeed).
My guess is that, for some amazingly stupid reason, the Forms app doesn't trust connections to a website running on the same machine
it's running on. Talk about paranoia!
If that's the case, how do I get the Forms app and the local website to play together? I tried adding http://localhost to my list of
trusted sites in IE (which seems really stupid, I admit), but that didn't solve the problem.
Suggestions are welcome and wanted!
