Is there ANY way for a windows app to consume a web service by going
through a SOCKS proxy? This is a MUST for me because the windows app I
am building will be deployed to many corporate clients who are behind
SOCKS proxies.

My app also has corporate clients that are behind a HTTP proxy. Is
there a way for the windows app to consume a web service through a
HTTP proxy?

Please post any relevant code you have, THANKS!

Hi Thomas,

You can use GlobalProxySelection class, but IMHO it is only for http proxies. I haven’t used it though so you can check if it works with SOCKS proxies.
