Proxy Basic Authentication in C#: HTTP 407 error

问题

I am working with a proxy that requires authentication, i.e., in a browser if I try to open a page it will immediately ask for credentials. I supplied same credentials in my program but it fails with HTTP 407 error.

Here is my code:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);

IWebProxy proxy = WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy();
CredentialCache cc = new CredentialCache();
NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential();

nc.UserName = "userName";
nc.Password = "password";
nc.Domain = "mydomain";
cc.Add("http://20.154.23.100", 8888, "Basic", nc);
proxy.Credentials = cc;
//proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
request.Proxy = proxy;
request.Proxy.Credentials = cc;
request.Credentials = cc;
request.PreAuthenticate = true;

I have tried every possible thing but seem like I am missing something. Is it something like, I have to make two requests? First with out credentials and once I hear back from server about need for credentials, make same request with credentials?

回答1:

This method may avoid the need to hard code or configure proxy credentials, which may be desirable.

Put this in your application configuration file - probably app.config. Visual Studio will rename it to yourappname.exe.config on build, and it will end up next to your executable. If you don't have an application configuration file, just add one using Add New Item in Visual Studio.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <system.net>
    <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" />
  </system.net>
</configuration>

I was getting a very similar situation where the HttpWebRequest wasn't picking up the correct proxy details by default and setting the UseDefaultCredentials didn't work either. Forcing the settings in code however worked a treat:

IWebProxy proxy = myWebRequest.Proxy;
if (proxy != null) {
    string proxyuri = proxy.GetProxy(myWebRequest.RequestUri).ToString();
    myWebRequest.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
    myWebRequest.Proxy = new WebProxy(proxyuri, false);
    myWebRequest.Proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
}

and because this uses the default credentials it should not ask the user for their details.

here is the correct way of using proxy along with creds..

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);

IWebProxy proxy = request.Proxy;                    
if (proxy != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Proxy: {0}", proxy.GetProxy(request.RequestUri));
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Proxy is null; no proxy will be used");
}

WebProxy myProxy = new WebProxy();
Uri newUri = new Uri("http://20.154.23.100:8888");
// Associate the newUri object to 'myProxy' object so that new myProxy settings can be set.
myProxy.Address = newUri;
// Create a NetworkCredential object and associate it with the 
// Proxy property of request object.
myProxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("userName", "password");
request.Proxy = myProxy;

Thanks everyone for help... :)

This problem had been bugging me for years the only workaround for me was to ask our networks team to make exceptions on our firewall so that certain URL requests didn't need to be authenticated on the proxy which is not ideal.

Recently I upgraded the project to .NET 4 from 3.5 and the code just started working using the default credentials for the proxy, no hardcoding of credentials etc.

request.Proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

try this

        var YourURL = "http://yourUrl/";

         HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler() 
         { 
             Proxy = new WebProxy("http://127.0.0.1:8888"), 
             UseProxy = true, 
         }; 

         Console.WriteLine(YourURL); 

         HttpClient client = new HttpClient(handler);
