如何设置可用于测试与Http请求相关的功能的Web代理？

Question

one of the users of my applications must connect to a web proxy before he can connect to our website. he tells me that he keeps getting 401 errors even when he specifies the proxy's ip, port, username & password. I have no way to test this functionality because I don't need to use a proxy to connect to our website. For all I know the problem relates to the way I am making the HttpRequest, but again, I have no way to test this functionality.

How can I set up a web proxy that will allow me to test this functionality?

Answer 1

Of you are on Windows, go grab CC Proxy http://www.youngzsoft.net/ccproxy/ and install it. It's free and and can be configured to your needs.

Answer 2

You could assign the Proxy property on the HttpWebRequest .

For example here's how you could specify a proxy server using default network credentials:

var request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com");
request.Proxy = new WebProxy("http://proxy.mydomain.com", 8080);
request.Proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
