How to make TCPClient work behind a proxy?


Dear all,
I have a client application which working just fine except in one case: when
it's behind a proxy. I tested it behind MS ISA with enabled Socks service. I
tried everything to make it connect from behind the proxy but, it failed. I'm
using .Net Framework 2.0 and it looks like it does not support Socks proxies.
Is there any solution for this problem? Thanks in advance.

This has been discussed in a prior thread but there was no solution proposed. Also, using WebRequest is not viable since we need a keep-alive connection. Can anyone provide any information on using the TCPClient class (or other) via proxies and whether or not this is possible? Regards Wwal

Hello. I'm writing a VB.NET app to check email message counts for both POP3 and IMAP4. I'm using TCPClient to connect, and a NetworkStream to send simple commands. It's a very simple bit of code, actually... the problem is, if the user is behind a proxy, then the Connect method fails (times out). How do I get around this? I thought this would be a common issue and that there would be plenty of code out there to demonstrate how to...

i had a problem whom i do not know how to explain. i was using a TcpClient (System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient) object to send and receive data to an AS400 socket. Two months ago it started to work slowly, about 4 seconds between send and receive. In our production environment with hundreds of transactions it was truly costly. a while ago i changed de TcpClient object. Now i am using a Socket (System.Net.Sockets.Socket) object and it...

I have an ASP.NET app that has very slow connect times using TCPClient, or the Socket class, or even calling a COM object that uses C socket calls on certain similar XP SP2 boxes. On those boxes, if another connection is made within a couple seconds, it is fast. Running the same C# code in a console app connects instantly. Unplugging the network cable allows localhost connections to be instant (?!). Running the same ASP.NET app on...

Hi, I use TcpClient class to obtain a NetworkStream object (via TcpClient's GetStream() method) in an ASP.Net webapp. This works well if I'm not behind proxy server but if I'm connected to the network via proxy server I get "dead network..." error message during the creation of the TcpClient object. The most strange thing is that the same code is works well with proxy too if it is in a single C# project. What's the problem in case of...

Is it possible to extend a Web service proxy so that it understands an HTTP refresh page? Explanation: * The Web service proxy was autogenerated by Visual Studio .NET 2003 from the Web service's WSDL. It inherits from System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol. * The Web service is hiding behind a load-balancing content switch

Hi, I am developing a C# application to send requests to mail server to check email addresses validity. I use a TcpClient object to connect to it with the Connect(String hostname, Int32 port) method. When I use my application at home I don't have any problem to connect and get responses but when I try at work, I get the SocketException number 10061 : "target machine actively refused it". I don't have any proxy, maybe a firewall.

I found an example online and when I tried repeating it with the proxy I normally use for my browser, I get errors. What I do is this: WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("http://www.autoconfig/pac", true); That url is exactly what I enter into Firefox advanced settings to get beyond the office firewall here, but C# does not like it.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
