I'm troubleshooting a bug with a service I call through .NET's HttpClient, trying to route the request through a local proxy (Fiddler), but my proxy settings seem to not be taking effect.
Here's how I create the client:
private HttpClient CreateHttpClient(CommandContext ctx, string sid) {
var cookies = new CookieContainer();
var handler = new HttpClientHandler {
CookieContainer = cookies,
UseCookies = true,
UseDefaultCredentials = false,
Proxy = new WebProxy("http://localhost:8888", false, new string[]{}),
UseProxy = true,
};
// snip out some irrelevant setting of authentication cookies
var client = new HttpClient(handler) {
BaseAddress = _prefServerBaseUrl,
};
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
return client;
}
then I send the request by:
var response = CreateHttpClient(ctx, sid).PostAsJsonAsync("api/prefs/", smp).Result;
Request goes straight to the server without attempting to hit the proxy. What did I miss?
