newDevicesURL is mentioned as optional. Even if we remove it or set newDevicesURL="" , it internally calls the http://devices.51degrees.mobi/new.ashx service. This was observed in fiddler. Please suggest on how can I avoid these calls at all. I do not want my application to have any external calls to any service or application.
Please revert back soon.
This feature has been removed in the latest version of the 51Degrees API. You can find the updated documentation here and get the download in the products section here. Hope this helps.
