Question

I’m using Web Services Enhancements 3.0 to call a web-service from an ASP.NET application written in C# with Visual Studio 2005.

I can call the web-service in Internet Explorer if I change the network connection settings to use a specific SOCKS5 proxy but from the .ASPX page I get an error message that tells me that I should be using the proxy.

Do you know how to configure the web-service client to use the proxy?

Thanks

PS:

Adding the following to Web.config doesn’t work:

<system.net>   <defaultProxy>     <proxy proxyaddress='http://theproxy:8080' bypassonlocal='True' />   </defaultProxy> </system.net> 

Answer 1

You need to set ‘enabled’ attribute of defaultProxy element to ‘true’ to make it work:

<system.net>   <defaultProxy **enabled='true'**>     <proxy proxyaddress='http://theproxy:8080' bypassonlocal='True' />   </defaultProxy> </system.net> 

This should work.
