Question

I have a bit of code that basically reads an XML document using the XMLDocument.Load(uri) method which works fine, but doesn’t work so well if the call is made through a proxy.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make this call (or achieve the same effect) through a proxy?

Answer 1

Do you have to provide credentials to the proxy?

If so, this should help: ‘Supplying Authentication Credentials to XmlResolver when Reading from a File’ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa720674.aspx

Basically, you…

1. Create an XmlTextReader using the URL
2. Set the Credentials property of the reader’s XmlResolver
3. Create an XmlDocument instance and pass the reader to the Load method.
