I also cehcked the source if /_s_/spr/concat.js exists.

Hi Rajesh,

It is mostly because you are accessing your website using localhost. Instead use your machine name.
Also have a look at this: http://sahi.co.in/w/help-the-sahi-controller-does-not-come-up

Hi Narayan,

i tried setting my machine name . But still it is not working.
When i used it in my machine with IE 6 this is working .
But not for IE 8 .
Can you help me with this

Also tried an application from my local machine using http:\\localhost:8080
Sahi controller is not invoked when clicking ctrl+alt+dbl click

http:\\localhost:8080 will not work. You have to use it as http:\\mymachinename:8080 Is that what you did?

Ignore the second error you reported, or stop the proxy, close browsers and then restart.

If you are unable to get it working, call me on 98809 65555 and I will help you out.

Here is a simple workaround if you need to run your scripts on different machines without changing the host name each time.

Problem :
IE just does not send requests sent to localhost through a proxy even if you have configured a proxy in IE.

Solution :
User somesite.com instead of localhost.
Some kind soul has registered the host somesite.com to IP 127.0.0.1

Please note that your DNS server should be able to resolve external IPs.
If your DNS does not resolve hosts outside your organization this workaround will not work.
To check just "ping google.com" and see if you get a response.
