My \'LocalClient\' app is in a corporate LAN behind an HTTP proxy server (ISA). The first Azure API call i make - CloudQueue.CreateIfNotExist() - causes an exceptio
The custom proxy solution (the third thing i tried as mentioned in my original question) worked perfectly. The mistake i was doing earlier was not putting the element at the beginning of in app.config as required. On doing that, the custom proxy solution given here solved my problem.
