IWMSProxyContext Interface

The IWMSProxyContext interface is implemented by a cache proxy plug-in and called by the server. It provides methods that enable a plug-in to discover upstream proxy settings and credentials that can be used, for example, when chaining together cache proxy servers.

By default, a network data source plug-in uses the existing server level proxy settings and credentials. However, for chaining multiple upstream proxies, the IWMSProxyContext interface enables your plug-in to discover settings and credentials for each upstream proxy server it connects to. These settings and credentials can be configured on a per-protocol and per-URL basis.

  • Note   This interface is available only on Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition; Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition; and Windows Server 2008.

In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IWMSProxyContext interface exposes the following methods.

Method Description
FindProxyForURL Retrieves the name and port number of an upstream proxy server.
GetCredentials Retrieves a user name and password that can be used to respond to the security challenge of an upstream proxy server.
