WSE 2 .Net 1.1 Client calling from inside a LAN to service on the internet. How to set the proxy server?

Question

Hi I am trying to connect to a WSE2 web service (.Net 1.1) on the internet The client (also .Net 1.1) is inside my company LAN and has to go out through a proxy server to the internet.

When I make the WSE2 call with the generated proxty it fails with the following Microsoft.Web.Services2.AsynchronousOperationException.

WSE101: An asynchronous operation raised an exception.

When I debug it there is an innerexception System.Net.WebException

The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server.

My first thought was that the Proxy server was not set in the client proxy, That being a problem I have had with asmx web services.

However when I look at the proxy code, which inherits from SoapClient there is no obvious way to set the proxy.

Does anybody have any thoguhts?

Thanks

Client Proxy normally inherits from HttpWebClientProtocol. This class has Proxy property since .Net 1.0. So, you simply have to construct appropriate Proxy:

IWebProxy proxyObject = new WebProxy("http://proxyserver:80", true);
mySoapClientProxyObject.Proxy = proxyObject;
