HttpWebRequest.Proxy Property

Definition

Gets or sets proxy information for the request.

public:
 virtual property System::Net::IWebProxy ^ Proxy { System::Net::IWebProxy ^ get(); void set(System::Net::IWebProxy ^ value); };
public override System.Net.IWebProxy? Proxy { get; set; }
public override System.Net.IWebProxy Proxy { get; set; }
member this.Proxy : System.Net.IWebProxy with get, set
Public Overrides Property Proxy As IWebProxy

Property Value

The IWebProxy object to use to proxy the request. The default value is set by calling the Select property.

Exceptions

Proxy is set to null.

The caller does not have permission for the requested operation.

Examples

The following code example uses the Proxy method to get the proxy information for the request.

// Create a new request to the mentioned URL.
HttpWebRequest ^ myWebRequest =
    (HttpWebRequest ^) (WebRequest::Create("http://www.microsoft.com"));

// Obtain the 'Proxy' of the  Default browser.  
IWebProxy ^ proxy = myWebRequest->Proxy;
// Print the Proxy Url to the console.
if (proxy) 
{
    Console::WriteLine("Proxy: {0}",
        proxy->GetProxy(myWebRequest->RequestUri));
} 
else 
{
    Console::WriteLine("Proxy is null; no proxy will be used");
}

WebProxy ^ myProxy = gcnew WebProxy;

Console::WriteLine("\nPlease enter the new Proxy Address that is to be set:");
Console::WriteLine("(Example:http://myproxy.example.com:port)");
String ^ proxyAddress;

try 
{
    proxyAddress = Console::ReadLine();
    if (proxyAddress->Length > 0) {
        Console::WriteLine("\nPlease enter the Credentials ");
        Console::WriteLine("Username:");
        String ^ username;
        username = Console::ReadLine();
        Console::WriteLine("\nPassword:");
        String ^ password;
        password = Console::ReadLine();
        // Create a new Uri object.
        Uri ^ newUri = gcnew Uri(proxyAddress);
        // Associate the newUri object to 'myProxy' object so that new myProxy settings can be set.
        myProxy->Address = newUri;
        // Create a NetworkCredential object and associate it with the Proxy property of request object.
        myProxy->Credentials =
            gcnew NetworkCredential(username, password);
        myWebRequest->Proxy = myProxy;
    }
    Console::WriteLine("\nThe Address of the  new Proxy settings are {0}",
                  myProxy->Address);
    HttpWebResponse ^ myWebResponse =
        (HttpWebResponse ^) (myWebRequest->GetResponse());
// Create a new request to the mentioned URL.				
HttpWebRequest myWebRequest=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.microsoft.com");

// Obtain the 'Proxy' of the  Default browser.

Remarks

Caution

WebRequest, HttpWebRequest, ServicePoint, and WebClient are obsolete, and you shouldn't use them for new development. Use HttpClient instead.

The Proxy property identifies the WebProxy object to use to process requests to Internet resources. To specify that no proxy should be used, set the Proxy property to the proxy instance returned by the GlobalProxySelection.GetEmptyWebProxy method.

The local computer or application config file may specify that a default proxy be used. If the Proxy property is specified, then the proxy settings from the Proxy property override the local computer or application config file and the HttpWebRequest instance will use the proxy settings specified. If no proxy is specified in a config file and the Proxy property is unspecified, the HttpWebRequest class uses the proxy settings inherited from Internet options on the local computer. If there are no proxy settings in Internet options, the request is sent directly to the server.

The HttpWebRequest class supports local proxy bypass. The class considers a destination to be local if any of the following conditions are met:

  • The destination contains a flat name (no dots in the URL).

  • The destination contains a loopback address (Loopback or IPv6Loopback) or the destination contains an IPAddress assigned to the local computer.

  • The domain suffix of the destination matches the local computer's domain suffix (DomainName).

Changing the Proxy property after the request has been started by calling the GetRequestStream, BeginGetRequestStream, GetResponse, or BeginGetResponse method throws an InvalidOperationException. For information on the proxy element see <defaultProxy> Element (Network Settings).
