Cannot access cloudinary from local IIS

My website is developed with Microsoft .NET MVC. I use the Clouninary NuGet library.

If I use Visual Studio Development Server my code works and I can upload new image.

But if I deploy to a local IIS server it does not work. It seems local IIS cannot access Cloudinary. My page is able to display the image from from Cloudinary. I have no firewall on my computer.

My code:

var settings = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;

var configuration = new AccountConfiguration(settings["Cloudinary.CloudName"],

settings["Cloudinary.ApiKey"],

settings["Cloudinary.ApiSecret"]);

var uploader = new Uploader(configuration);

string publicId = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename);

var destroyResult = uploader.Destroy(publicId); <-- This fails with the message:

[IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.]

Found the problem: The culprit is the proxy in my company.

I don't understand why this does not affect the get image from cloudinary (maybe I did notice they were displayed from local cache ?).

I also don't understand why Visual Studio Development Server is not affected by proxy.

Anyway, I know how to fix my problem.
