To proxy or not to proxy...

My application needs to talk to the internet. In the
case that the user needs to go through a proxy, I've been
able to request appropriate settings and get out. I have
two questions about this process, however.

1) It takes a very long time for the application to
attempt to communicate to the internet. Is there a way
for me to reduce the wait time by throwing an error
earlier (ie. connection timeout or something)?

2) If I assign a proxy using:
System.Net.Glob alProxySelectio n.Select, do I override the
machine's global settings? How do I avoid messing things
up?

In a nutshell - the question I'm asking is, how do I make a socket conenction go via a proxy server ? All our internet traffic has to go through a proxy-server at location 'dav-serv:8080' and I need to make a socket connection through it. The reason (with code example) is as follows : I am hacking "Tiny HTTP Proxy" by SUZUKI Hisao to make an http proxy that modifies URLs. I haven't got very far - having started from zero knowledge of...

Hello, I need a way to get a notification whenever a variable of an object changes. The approach should be non-intrusive so that I can use existing objects without modifying them. I want to be notified no matter who or what did change the wrapped object - even whenever an object internal methods changes the variables. So I coded the piece of code shown below (just copy and paste it, it's ready-to-run).

Hi, I have a program that runs on multiple client pc's. Occasionally one or more of those pc's use VPN to connect to another corporate network. When using VPN they need to set proxy server in Internet Explorer connection settings (proxy:8080). However, as soon as this setting is enabled, the remoting program running on their pc stops communicating with the server it sends data to. I've disabled proxy setting on the affected pc, rebooted...

Hello apologies if this is the wrong newsgroup to be sending this to. Basically, I have an ASP.NET application that I am trying to force to use a proxy server settings. This can be done by accessing machine.config, but I do not have access to the client machine.config machine. Therefore every request made from this application must have these proxy server settings. But I am having problems writing the code for this.

I am re-sending this in the hope that it might illicit a response. I have a corporate client who forces their workstations to get the proxy server details using an automatic proxy discovery script. Unfortunately, the .NET Framework does not support automatic proxy discovery scripts.

Hello, I need to write a simple proxy server. What I want to do is to use HttpListener to get requests from the browser, add some proxy information and some other stuff and send the request to the internet. Then I want to send the answer back to the browser... Sounds simple... But how can I do this?

A C# (.NET 2) application which uses the System.Net.HttpWebRequest object to request a resource over HTTPS is failing following the installation of a new proxy server on our internal network with 407 Proxy Authentication Required. The same request through the old proxy succeeds. The same request to an HTTP address through the new proxy succeeds. Also, the request succeeds when forced to use Basic authentication but fails on NTLM.

Hi all, I have an asp.net 2.0 website that accesses a locally hosted web service. This works fine on servers that are connected to our network. However, I am having a problem with a laptop server that I have built. The code that tries to connect to the web service breaks if the laptop is not within our network. Further debugging has revealed that this is due to a proxy server issue. Our domain sets the proxy server via GPO for all...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
