error creating the web proxy specified in the 'system.net/defaultproxy' configuration section

Question

I receive the error from a third party application exe. The Application is only a exe, no config file or others.

\"error creating the web proxy specified in the \'sy

Answer 1

For me when I received this error I managed to 'fix' it by including the 'type' attribute in my listener in the web.config:

However Visual Studio (2012) actually tells me that this attribute is not allowed... Still removing it leads to me getting the error, including it leads to it working correctly.
