Resolved error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required in web.config

Hello,

nopCommerce 2.50 with source.

When checking out an order, clicking the Ship to address button on the check out screen or clicking the Estimate shipping button on the cart screen yields this error:

"The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required".

I think it's because my development computer is logged into a domain on a SBS2003 server which uses a proxy server for internet access.  I needed to bypass the proxy server checking to run the nopCommerce website on my development machine.

I found that putting this in the web.config fixed the problem.

  <system.net>
    <defaultProxy>
      <bypasslist>
        <add address="localhost$" />
      </bypasslist>
    </defaultProxy>
  </system.net>

Is this something that I should do and keep this way?

Or is there another way to do this that does not involve changing the web.config?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

The web.config settings above also resolved this issue:
