Does WCF client support http or socks5 proxy?

Question

Hi,

Can a client consuming the wcf service be configed to bypass a proxy? something like ie or msn. If can, how?

Not sure it's right place to ask this question here, just hope you give me some advice on this topic.

Thanks.

Answer 1

 

You can set proxy settings at the binding leval(both in config and or you can set binding properties programmatically)

please check binding properties in this config

EXAMPLE:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

<system.serviceModel>

<client>

<endpoint name=""

address="http://localhost/servicemodelsamples/service.svc"

binding="wsHttpBinding"

bindingConfiguration="Binding1"

contract="ICalculator" />

</client>

<bindings>

<wsHttpBinding>

<binding name="Binding1" bypassProxyOnLocal="True" proxyAddress="" useDefaultWebProxy="true"/>

</wsHttpBinding>

</bindings>

</system.serviceModel>

</configuration>

Answer 2

Right, I can set local proxy in the config, but, how can I set the username and password to authentication in proxy?
