This is a connection error, although that looks like an odd port for a web server you should still try to connect to the same URL ( http://obsv:5493 ) in a web browser on the same machine where you try to connect from the Progress session. If it fails in the browser too then check the name resolution (DNS), doing a ping to 'obsv' does it at least translate the host name to an IP address (ping packages might not go through though). If the host name is resolved to an IP address then there might be other network related issues that makes the host unreachable, like being in a different network and no bridge set-up or simply a firewall on the server or somewhere in between (a router maybe). If the host name is not resolved to an IP address then you need to get the DNS setup fixed or obtain the server IP address and use that instead of the host name. If it does work from the browser then the browser have a proxy set-up so it does not connects directly to the server but through a middle man that is allowed to pass through the firewall, you need to check what kind of proxy is that (http, socks) and then it might be possible to talk with the middle man although the dialect is a bit different... no idea if Peter's implementation supports proxies, if not .NET WebClient should work fine for you since you've started the thread with a .NET migration of some sort.
