How to use MS Azure AppFabric via proxy server in corporate network

Question

I'm testing the Service Bus AppFabric within our corporate network by runnng the Echo service sample from the AppFabric SDK samples (WindowsAzurePlatformAppFabricSDKSamples_V1.0-CS). However, the code seems to hang at the host.Open(), and no exceptions being thrown.

I left the program running like hours but it's still hung at that line with no exceptions.

Does anyone have a hint about this?

Thanks.

Have been struggling with this today as well. You can add the following in your config:

  <system.net>
    <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true">
      <proxy proxyaddress="http://xyz:8080"  usesystemdefault="True"/>
      <module type="ServiceBusHost.CustomProxy, ServiceBusHost"/>
    </defaultProxy>
  </system.net>

Unfortunately this does not work in all cases.
