Is there any way to use authentication with proxy

Question

I can't seem to find a way to use proxies with username and password (http/socks4). Any input would be great :)

I 'm using the .net wrapper, but I guess that does not make any difference.

Thanks,

John

You need to handle the WebControl LoginRequest Event, that is if you want to specify the user name an password in code

private void webcontrol_LoginRequest (object sender, LoginRequestEventArgs e)
                {
                    e.Username = "username";
                    e.Password = "password";
                    e.Handled = EventHandling.Modal;
                    e.Cancel = false;
                }

Test:

 WebPreferences prefs = new WebPreferences() { ProxyConfig = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port" };
    session = WebCore.CreateWebSession(prefs);
    webcontrol = new WebControl() { WebSession = session };
    webcontrol.LoginRequest += new LoginRequestEventHandler(webcontrol_LoginRequest);

• if you don't want to handle the event then you'll get a dialoge that you can enter the credintials in.
