<proxy> Element
Defines a proxy server.
<configuration>
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy>
<proxy
usesystemdefault = "false | true"
bypassonlocal = "true | false"
proxyaddress = "proxy address including port"
/>
Optional Attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| usesystemdefault | Indicates that the application should use the default system proxy. |
| bypassonlocal | Indicates that local addresses should not use a proxy. |
| proxyaddress | The URI or IP address of the Internet proxy. |
Remarks
The <proxy> element defines a proxy server for an application. When the usesystemdefault attribute is true, the application uses the proxy defined in the Internet Options dialog box.
When the bypassonlocal property is true, local addresses do not use the proxy. A local address has no period; is localhost, loopback, or 127.0.0.1; or matches the machine name of the local computer.
Example
The following example configures an application to use the Internet proxy "proxyserver" on port 80 and to bypass local addresses.
<configuration>
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy
proxyaddress = "http://proxyserver:80"
bypassonlocal = "true"
/>
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
</configuration>
Configuration File
This element can be used in the application configuration file, the machine configuration file (Machine.config), and the publisher policy file.
