Proxy authentication...

Hi guys!

This is not a VFP question directly, but I have posted my question over in the C# forum, but its getting no hits, so though I would ask here!

Our VFP app has been using the SOAP toolkit 3 successfully for many years but now I am being asked to provide a .NET replacement for it (so-to-speak). I have followed Rick Straahl's tutorial for creating a .NET wrapper COM component for the web service, and all appears to be well until I try to use it live!

Basically our servers here are locked down tighter than a gnats ***** and I need a way to pass/specify the proxy authentication credentials in order to get it to work, or the ability to change the proxy IP (to a non authenticated one). This was quite easy with the SOAP toolkit, but I am just completely stumped in the .NET world! I have tried various options in the app.config file as suggested by Google but to no avail.

So I am just wondering if anyone has any experience of this as I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that the "Proxy authentication required" error message I am receiving is a "red herring" and something else is wrong instead!

Thanks in advance :)
Neil

I like work. It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours...
