Hi,

When i trying use it by means of telnet the connection is refused,
so is that i might be behind proxy. Or wht could go worng in this. In
httpunit they just given the the url directly as "www.meterware.com" to
get the response when i try to do it, The error pops. Is there anything
they were missing in explaining this, is so let me know it

cheers,
Arun.

You say you can reach this remote host using a web-browser? Does the
web-browser have a local http-proxy configured?

In Internet Explorer, select the "Tools" menu, "Internet Options",
"Connections", "LAN Settings" and see if the "Proxy" is ticked.

Well, from where I'm sitting

- ping works
- I can telnet to port 80
- my browser can fetch the main page

You'd better check that you aren't using a proxy and/or being blocked by
a firewall on your site.
