RSS feed through proxy server fails

Question

User-2080664153 posted

Hi,

I have RSS/XML feed code written in C# that works fine when not going through my company proxy server (say at home) but fails to get feed when not using the proxy server. I need to be able to display the contents of an external XML/RSS feed in an ASP page in both situations (through proxy server or without it). Can anyone suggest what I need to do?

Regards

Abrahimi

Have you tried setting the proxy property?

    //Create a WebRequest

    WebRequest rssReq =

    WebRequest.Create("http://www.asp.net/news/rss.ashx");

 

    //Create a Proxy

    WebProxy px = new WebProxy("http://www.asp.net/news/rss.ashx", true);

 

    //Assign the proxy to the WebRequest

    rssReq.Proxy = px;

 

    //Set the timeout in Seconds for the WebRequest

    rssReq.Timeout = 5000;
