Problem connecting to proxy server

I am trying to connect to a proxy server but it seems to me that it doesn’t work.
First of all , I’ll explain some stuff that I tried and then post the code.

So let’s say I create a new instance with the fallowing code
proxyclient = new ProxyClient(“124.195.18.119”,80,null,null, ProxyType.HttpConnect);

The proxy server is good because I verified it, and the aplication it’s teling me that it’s OK.
If I write this code
proxyclient = new ProxyClient(“0.0.0.0”,80,null,null, ProxyType.HttpConnect);

The aplication is telling me that it’s OK, so for any proxy valid or invalid it’s telling me that it’s ok.

So here goes the whole code:

proxyclient = new ProxyClient(“124.195.18.119”,80,null,null, ProxyType.HttpConnect);
Fetcher site;
try
{
Console.WriteLine(“Connecting with whatismyip.com”);
proxyclient.BeginConnect(“http://whatismyip.com/”, 80);
Console.WriteLine();
Console.Write(“Connected with whatismyip.com using Aspose”);
site = new Fetcher(“http://whatismyip.com/”); // It’s a class that I made
site.Save(“result.html”); // Save the web page
proxyclient.Close();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.Write(“error:” + ex.Message);
}
}

When I open the web page that I saved , I still have the same IP.

So the question is, how do I connect correctly to a proxy server and verify if the connection was successful?

Hi,

Thanks for considering Aspose.

dobre:
proxyclient = new ProxyClient("0.0.0.0",80,null,null, ProxyType.HttpConnect);

The aplication is telling me that it's OK, so for any proxy valid or invalid it's telling me that it's ok

Please also put the above line in the try catch block. It should throw an exception if address/port of proxy server is invalid.

dobre:
When I open the web page that I saved , I still have the same IP.

Please provide some details about the network setup. Is the proxy server part of your LAN? If you send request to web servers outside the LAN, you will always be identified by the WAN IP.

My Proxy Server is not LAN it can be anywhere.
