The ServicePointManager does not support proxies of * scheme

Question

I've encountered two different variations of this:

"The ServicePointManager does not support proxies of proxy scheme" "The ServicePointManager does not support proxies of HTTPS scheme"

I get this error when a client attempts to connect to our webservices through a proxy. I've encountered this problem with a few clients using proxies, though I have no idea what's causing it. The proxy is set with System.Net.WebProxy and default credentials.

Using .Net 1.1, with Microsoft.Web.Services2.

Any one know what could be causing this?

Answer 1

OK. Making sure the proxy address is prefixed with "http://" Seems to have fixed this in all the cases I've come across so far.
