Examples

The following example displays the current network proxy address and allows the user to assign a new network proxy address and port number.

// Create a new request to the mentioned URL.
WebRequest^ myWebRequest = WebRequest::Create( "http://www.contoso.com" );

WebProxy^ myProxy = gcnew WebProxy;
// Obtain the Proxy Prperty of the  Default browser.
myProxy = (WebProxy^)(myWebRequest->Proxy);

// Print myProxy address to the console.
Console::WriteLine( "\nThe actual default Proxy settings are {0}", myProxy->Address );

{
   Console::WriteLine( "\nPlease enter the new Proxy Address to be set " );

Remarks

Caution

WebRequest, HttpWebRequest, ServicePoint, and WebClient are obsolete, and you shouldn't use them for new development. Use HttpClient instead.

The Proxy property identifies the network proxy that the request uses to access the Internet resource. The request is made through the proxy server rather than directly to the Internet resource.

Note

The WebRequest class is an abstract class. The actual behavior of WebRequest instances at run time is determined by the descendant class returned by the WebRequest.Create method. For more information about default values and exceptions, see the documentation for the descendant classes, such as HttpWebRequest and FileWebRequest.
