Hi all, I never really thought about it but just assumed that a HttpWebRequest would automatically discover proxy settings configured on the local machine.
We're not using a proxy here but as a quick test I just configured a dummy proxy in IE and created a simple console app that fires off a HttpWebRequest, and the request did use the proxy I configured. It appears my assumption was correct for this simple scenario, but I'm sure there are other ways a proxy might be configured in a corporate environment. I still see forum posts where users complain that apps don't seem to use their proxy. Are there any specific coding considerations to ensure a .NET app uses the configured proxy? Cheers.
