title: Unable to connect to the remote server in a http request
body: <p>I am using <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/91646/Implementing-Yahoo-Contact-Reader-Using-ASP-NET" rel="nofollow">this</a> article to fetch yahoo contacts.It is OK and gives me a guid.Then I create a request to <code>http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/</code> with the given guid.But when I want to read the response from the http request I receive an error that says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Unable to connect to the remote server ---&gt; System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8555
     at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress)
     at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket&amp; socket, IPAddress&amp; address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Exception&amp; exception)
  </code></pre>
