Weclient class and proxies

[=?Utf-8?B?SmFsaWw=?=]

My code below works fine when I am no using web proxy:


//login and pwd is for the remote server.
NetworkCredenti al netCredential = new NetworkCredenti al(login,pwd);
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credenti als = netCredential;
Console.WriteLi ne(client.Downl oadString(Reque stUrl));

However, when I run behind a proxy I get an exception that I need to
authenticate to the proxy.

How would I do this in my program? I read in the doc the WebClient by
default uses IE proxy settings? Is that true?

Thanks,

Sloan,

Yes, I had seen this info before. It says:

The Proxy property identifies the IWebProxy instance that communicates with
remote servers on behalf of this WebClient object. The proxy is set by the
system using configuration files and the Internet Explorer Local Area Network
settings. To specify that no proxy should be used, set the Proxy property to
the proxy instance returned by the GetEmptyWebProx y method.

But how would I set this property to the what IE is configured to use?

Thanks,

Re: Weclient class and proxies

Did you look at the sample code?

// Obtain the 'Proxy' of the Default browser.
IWebProxy proxy = myWebRequest.Pr oxy;
