How to use a proxy with RedditSharp?

问题:

I'm using RedditSharp from https://github.com/SirCmpwn/RedditSharp in a script of mine, and I'm simply asking, when connecting using this how do I implement a proxy? and could I change the proxy midscript?

There no standalone way, you can't accomplish this without modifying this library source code.

So most painless-way:

1. Overload constructor of RedditSharp - add new argument with IWebAgent as type. So it will look like this:

   public Reddit() : this(new WebAgent())
   {
   
   }
   
   public Reddit(IWebAgent agent)
   {
       JsonSerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings();
       JsonSerializerSettings.CheckAdditionalContent = false;
       JsonSerializerSettings.DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Ignore;
       _webAgent = agent;
       CaptchaSolver = new ConsoleCaptchaSolver();
   }
   

2. Remove "sealed" keyword from RedditSharp.WebAgent class declaration.

3. Make RedditSharp.WebAgent.CreateRequest method virtual, so it will look like this:

   public virtual HttpWebRequest CreateRequest(string url, string method, bool prependDomain = true)
   {
       ...
   }
   

4. Create your own WebAgent based on old-one:

   public class MyAgent: WebAgent
   {
       public IWebProxy Proxy { get; set; }
   
       public override HttpWebRequest CreateRequest(string url, string method, bool prependDomain = true)
       {
           var base_request = base.CreateRequest(url, method, prependDomain);
   
           if (Proxy != null)
           {
               base_request.Proxy=Proxy;   
           }
   
           return base_request;
       }
   }
   

5. Use it in your code:

   var agent = new MyAgent();
   var reddit = new Reddit(agent);
   
   ...
   
   agent.Proxy = new WebProxy("someproxy.net", 8080);
   

So now you can set proxy anytime, from anywhere. Not tested really, but it must work.
