Proxy Authentication Error while calling FedEx webservice

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to call the FedEx tracking webservice. Currently I am running the sample application provided by FedEx itself (Added my test account number and other details). When I run the application, I get the following error:

The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

I am inside a proxy at my organization and I tried provided the proxy server details to the webservice client using the WebProxy class as:

trackService.Proxy = WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy();

and also by providing the proxy server details as:

trackService.Proxy = new WebProxy("IP",8080);

But I still keep getting the same error!! Could somebody help me how to resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,

What you seem to be missing is the proxy credentials. Try this:

trackService.Proxy = new WebProxy("IP", 8080);
trackService.Proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(
    username, password, domain);
