Simulator/MDS with Local Web Server

[nalpakj]

Hello,

Let me start by saying I am still a bit new to developing for the Blackberry platform but am having trouble finding a good way to get my development environment optomized.

OK, what I'm doing is writing a blackberry client app that talks to a web site. I'm developing the web site using .Net. What I want to do is be able to debug both the BB app and the web app. However the .net Cassini web server is listening on localhost and it seems the MDS simulator doesn't serve up requests to localhost (you get a 403).

This can't be that uncommon of a requirement...how have other people dealt with this?

Thanks

You need to use the actual name of your machine instead of localhost. I think the MDS proxy "hijacks" any requests to "localhost". By using your machine name, you should be all set.
