The following is being tested on Windows 8 and 7.
I have this code, which works when not behind a proxy:
var client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(USER, PASS);
client.DownloadFile("http://mydns/subfolder/myfile.zip")
The client USER and PASS is a local user on the server.
When I combine that with a proxy, I keep getting the 401 error:
var proxy = WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy;
proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
client.Proxy = proxy;
The client has the correct proxy configured, because with the browser I can go to the wanted url. I also tried with manually setting the proxy Credentials, but that also didn't work:
WebProxy proxy;
if(_proxySetting.Port != null)
proxy = new WebProxy(_proxySetting.Server, _proxySetting.Port);
else
proxy = new WebProxy(_proxySetting.Server);
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(_proxySetting.Username))
{
proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(_proxySetting.Username, _proxySetting.Password);
}
client.Proxy = proxy;
I've tried what is explained on the following pages, without any luck:
WebClient generates (401) Unauthorized error
Any help is much appreciated since I'm totally out of ideas.
