HttpClient and proxy with Windows 8 Store application

Question

We are creating a Windows Store application (WinRT) line of business application is to be installed on computers that are in a network that requires them use a proxy to connect to the internet. My assumption is that the HttpClient uses the proxy information set in IE. Is this a true statement?

Thanks, Scott

Answer 1

According to MSDN documentation HttpClientHandler.Proxy :

If no proxy is specified in a config file and the Proxy property is unspecified, the handler uses the proxy settings inherited from Internet Explorer on the local computer.
