HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request

Question

I developed a project using asp.net core MVC and cosmos db. When I try to post the form I got

HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request error.

I debug it using break point.

 await 'client.CreateDocumentAsync(UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri("HRDB", "EmployeesCollection"), employee);'

Above link so me the error. please help me to fix it .

code:

' [HttpPost]
        public async Task<ActionResult> AddEmployee(Employee employee)


       {

            await client.CreateDocumentAsync(UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri("HRDB", "EmployeesCollection"), employee);

            return RedirectToAction("Employees");
        }'

Error :

A generic exception like that usually means there was an issue reaching the host at all. Check the URL you're connecting to, and ensure that it's not beling blocked by corporate firewalls or such. — Chris Pratt, May 15 '19 at 13:01
Double check the Uri you are using to connect to the Cosmos DB account. Is it a live account? Is it the Emulator? — Matias Quaranta, May 15 '19 at 18:32

I downloaded your code and tried to add an employee ,am getting the same error you are getting.

Below point to check :

Make sure your URL is correct and Cosmos DB is not blocked as per your org policy.

Here is very simple and very nice article to get started with Azure cosmos DB in web application.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/sql-api-dotnet-application

And finally start adding your model and add it.

Hope it helps.
