Question

Web service Proxy Authorization Required( 'http://www.w3.org/2005/05/xmlmime')

Hi,

I'm trying to test PTC  web services  in Visual Studio by adding a web reference to a project.

I've been able to successfully test
http://integrityserver:7001/webservices/2009/7/Source/?wsdl

where (integrityserver is the name of our server). I can see the 25 methods of the /Source web service

However when I add a web reference for

http://integrityserver:7001/webservices/10/2/Integrity/?wsdl

I get the error below from Visual Studio

The document was understood, but it could not be processed.
  - The WSDL document contains links that could not be resolved.
  - There was an error downloading 'http://www.w3.org/2005/05/xmlmime'.
  - The request failed with HTTP status 407: Proxy Authorization Required.
There was an error download

Other tools like SoapUI don't work as well asking for authentication too.

Why  is this 'http://www.w3.org/2005/05/xmlmimeURL blocked by the proxy server in this context ?

( I can certainly access 'http://www.w3.org/2005/05/xmlmime in my browser without problems)

Thanks !
