Remarks

The Proxy property identifies the WebProxy object to use to process requests to Internet resources. To specify that no proxy should be used, set the Proxy property to the proxy instance returned by the GetEmptyWebProxy method.

The local computer or application config file may specify that a default proxy be used. If the Proxy property is specified, then the proxy settings from the Proxy property override the local computer or application config file and the handler will use the proxy settings specified. If no proxy is specified in a config file and the Proxy property is unspecified, the handler uses the proxy settings inherited from Internet options on the local computer. If there are no proxy settings in Internet options, the request is sent directly to the server.

The HttpClientHandler class supports local proxy bypass. The class considers a destination to be local if any of the following conditions are met:

• The destination contains a flat name (no dots in the URL).
• The destination contains a loopback address (Loopback or IPv6Loopback) or the destination contains an IPAddress assigned to the local computer.
• The domain suffix of the destination matches the local computer's domain suffix (DomainName).
