PRB: Error on .NET client that consumes a Web service through an HTTP proxy server (318140)

MORE INFORMATION

The following are the default settings in the Machine.config file:

<configuration>
   <system.net>
      <defaultProxy>
         <proxy
            usesystemdefault = "true"
         />
      </defaultProxy>
   </system.net>
</configuration>

				

If the default settings do not automatically detect the proxy server settings, set usessystemdefault to false, and then explicitly designate the proxy server. To designate the proxy server explicitly, use either the Machine.config or Web.config file, or specify the server programmatically.

To specify the proxy server, set the Machine.config or Web.config file settings as follows:

<configuration>
   <system.net>
      <defaultProxy>
         <proxy
            usesystemdefault = "false"
            proxyaddress="http://proxyserver"
            bypassonlocal="true"
         />
      </defaultProxy>
   </system.net>
</configuration>

				

To change the settings programmatically by using a WebProxy object, use the following sample code:

Using System.Net;

com.someserver.somewebservice.someclass MyWebServiceClass = new com.someserver.somewebservice.someclass();

IWebProxy proxyObject = new WebProxy("http://myproxyserver:80", true);
MyWebServiceClass.Proxy = proxyObject;

MyWebServiceClass.MyWebMethod();

				

Proxy servers that require NTLM authentication

To set NTML authentication for the proxy server, use the following sample code:

Using System.Net;

WebProxy myProxy = new WebProxy("http://proxyserver:port",true); 
myProxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; 
FindServiceSoap myFindService = new FindServiceSoap(); 
myFindService.Proxy = myProxy;

You can also use system-wide proxy as default. To do this, use the following settings in the configuration file:

<configuration> 
   <system.net> 
     <defaultProxy> 
        <proxy 
           proxyaddress = "http://proxyserver:80" 
           bypassonlocal = "true" /> 
     </defaultProxy> 
  </system.net> 
</configuration>
