Examples

binding.BypassProxyOnLocal = true;

The value of this property can also be set in the configuration file.

<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>

    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="Binding1" 
                 bypassProxyOnLocal="true">
          <security mode="None" />
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
  </system.serviceModel>

</configuration>

Remarks

An Internet resource is local if it has a local address. A local address is one that is on same computer, the local LAN or intranet and is identified, syntactically, by the lack of a period (.) as in the URIs http://webserver/ and http://localhost/.

Setting the BypassProxyOnLocal property determines whether endpoints configured with the BasicHttpBinding use the proxy server when accessing local resources.

If BypassProxyOnLocal is true, requests to local Internet resources do not use the proxy server. Use the host name (rather than localhost) if you want clients to go through a proxy when talking to services on the same machine when this property is set to true.

When BypassProxyOnLocal is false, all Internet requests to non-localhost URIs are made through the proxy server. Requests to URIs with localhost will not use the proxy server regardless of the BypassProxyOnLocal setting.
