work with proxies and HttpWebRequests

[fastnick94]

Hello

I have been searching for hours on how to use proxies in VB.Net and finally i just gave up and came here.

I am trying to send httpwebrequest's but i would also like to use with proxies.

I would like to send this HttpWebRequest behind a proxy

Dim objHTTPRequest As HttpWebRequest

objHTTPRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("http://www.example.com")

I have tried things like:

Dim currentProxy As New WebProxy(58.211.113.227, 8080)

objHTTPRequest.Proxy = currentProxy

Nothing seems to work. I would like to learn overall usage of proxies in VB.net

Thank,
Nick

This is setting the proxy correctly, what exactly is not working?
