How do I connect to a webservice on localhost in Icenium graphite. I tried the machine name, localhost, 127.0.0.1 but nothing works. I try to upload an image through a webservice using FileTransfer() but always failed and get null as the error value.

Have you tried the machine's ip? Is there a webservice running?

Hi Jan,
I tried the ip that I get from CMD ipconfig in the IPv4 address but when I use that IP in the browser it doesn't load the webservice nor other webspages.
However this address works.
http://localhost:1691/default.aspx
But this doesn't:
http://192.168.1.5/default.aspx
I want to be able to debug my app when my phone is connected and with Visual Studio on the local machine.
Any other ways to resolve this?

By the port number in the first URL it looks like you are running the web service from within Visual Studio directly.
Does it work if you use http://192.168.1.5:1691/default.aspx?

I changed the binding in the applicationhost.config for IIS Express8:
Now I can access the site/webservice from the browser like this:
http://192.168.1.5:5555/default.aspx
However, when I put this address in the mobile phone which is connected to the local Wi-Fi network, It still doesn't connect.
Anything else that I might be missing here?

What exactly is your web service returning? Since you are calling default.aspx it makes me think it is returning a web page (with html?)?
Web services generally are named (in Visual Studio) webservice.asmx and return formatted data (json, xml)
Could it be your firewall is blocking port 5555? Try to disable the firewall during test.

The webservice is:
http://192.168.1.5:5555/ImageWebService.asmx/
I just gave the url as an example for accessing the server
The webservice works perfectly when I put it on an external server on Amazon, but I need to access it locally for debugging purposes in visual studio (debugging server side code).
