I'm doing the setup proposed in here.
I'm trying to send a PING, having Eikon Desktop running but the request seems to fail.
Any idea why that might be happening?
The port number is wrong. In your screenshot you're sending the request on port 8088. Eikon API Proxy, which handles SxS requests, listens on port 9000.
Yes you are right, but the tutorial says we can use another if 9000 is in use.Checking again, the alternatives must go incrementally. I get it that 8088 does not meet that criteria, but I attempted a couple of others to no avail unfortunately (9000 up to 9005). The results for these weren't even the 404 error, it was this (in the snapshot):
