ServiceStack HttpUtils + Proxy Server

I am using ServiceStack HttpUtils to connect to a third-party REST API. How do I pass in Proxy Server and Proxy Port when making requests?

Thanks rudrvij

Solution

  • HTTP Utils is a wrapper over .NET's HttpWebRequest so you can use the same functionality to specify a Proxy, e.g: 

    url.GetJsonFromUrl(requestFilter: req.Proxy = new WebProxy("http://webproxy:80/"));

    Or set a Proxy globally with:

    WebProxy proxyObject = new WebProxy("http://webproxy:80/");  
GlobalProxySelection.Select = proxyObject;

    Or configure it in Web.config:

    <configuration>  
  <system.net>  
    <defaultProxy>  
      <proxy  
        usesystemdefault="true"  
        proxyaddress="http://192.168.1.10:3128"  
        bypassonlocal="true"  
      />  
      <bypasslist  
        <add address="[a-z]+\.contoso\.com" />  
      </bypasslist>  
    </defaultProxy>  
  </system.net>  
</configuration>
