How to set proxy server?

[ihnw]

Hi I’m using the vb.net version of aspose words. Some of our webpages have images and when converting to word docs on live server, the images all display as image with a big red X. Our systems team requires a proxy for all outbound requests but I haven’t been able to find how to specify the proxy ip and port when using aspose words. Is this option available?

For example when making a normal web request using .NET core I would say something like

Dim myRequest As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(url)
myRequest.Proxy = New WebProxy(proxyUrl, proxyPort)

But I can’t find anywhere to set a proxy when converting webpage html to word doc. Works fine in dev environment where proxy is not required. For comparison in google apis you can edit web.config xml to set a global proxy when using their API.

Any help or suggestions welcome.

@ihnw You can implement IResourceLoadingCallback to control how Aspose.Words loads external resource when importing a document. In the callback you can implement loading images using proxy and provide Aspose.Words with the required image.
