[WCF][SyncFramework] How to override GetWebRequest?

Question

I have a WCF client/server architecture generated by Sync Framework. For some reason, I must change the HTTP version of the client's POST messages from 1.1 to 1.0 (because of the proxy between the client and server)

After banging my head on the keyboard I found that I have to override GetWebRequest to change anything I want concerning the HTTP protocol :

protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri)
{
    HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest) base.GetWebRequest(uri);

    webRequest.KeepAlive = false;
    webRequest.ProtocolVersion=HttpVersion.Version10;
    return webRequest;
}

It seems that I must do this override in the generated Reference.cs file, BUT I can't. There seems to miss the adequate class were I can do that. Some people on the internet have had that kind of problem, but never with this architecture and that kind of Reference.cs file.

Here's the Reference.cs code :

[System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute(ConfigurationName = "VinciWCFRef.ISyncVinciSyncContract")]
public interface ISyncVinciSyncContract

    SyncContext ApplyChanges(SyncGroupMetadata groupMetadata, System.Data.DataSet dataSet, SyncSession syncSession);

    string[] GetServerChanges(SyncGroupMetadata groupMetadata, SyncSession syncSession);

    [System.ServiceModel.OperationContractAttribute(Action = "http://tempuri.org/ISyncVinciSyncContract/Genere_ID_Synchro", ReplyAction = "http://tempuri.org/ISyncVinciSyncContract/Genere_ID_SynchroResponse")]
    [System.ServiceModel.XmlSerializerFormatAttribute(SupportFaults = true)]
    string[] Genere_ID_Synchro(SyncGroupMetadata groupMetadata, SyncSession syncSession);

    [System.ServiceModel.XmlSerializerFormatAttribute(SupportFaults = true)]
    string[] TestConnect(SyncGroupMetadata groupMetadata, SyncSession syncSession);

    {

    }
} 

If anybody finds as answer to this, that person will have my eternal gratitude.

transferMode=StreamedResponse in the app.config helped me for this issue.

<bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="basicHttpBinding" closeTimeout="00:45:00" openTimeout="00:45:00"

Squid proxy 3.1.20 didn't like the chunked messages caused by the transferMode=Streamed .

But wait ! There's more !

Now there is still an underlying problem, as the synchronization goes to ~14% :

(badly translated) bad SOAP adress or action. Inner exception : 404 error

this exception fires only when going through the squid proxy. On another network it's fine.

I'm working on that problem, but if you have an idea you'll be my hero.
