GlobalProxySelection Class
NOTE: This API is now obsolete.
Contains a global default proxy instance for all HTTP requests.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
'Declaration <ObsoleteAttribute("This class has been deprecated. Please use WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy instead to access and set the global default proxy. Use 'null' instead of GetEmptyWebProxy. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202")> _ Public Class GlobalProxySelection 'Usage Dim instance As GlobalProxySelection
The GlobalProxySelection stores the proxy settings for the default proxy that WebRequest instances use to contact Internet sites beyond the local network. The default proxy setting is initialized from the global or application configuration file, and can be overridden for individual requests or disabled by setting the HttpWebRequest.Proxy property to the result of the GetEmptyWebProxy method.
The proxy settings stored in GlobalProxySelection are used by any WebRequest derived objects that support proxies and have their Proxy property value set to Nothing (the default). Proxies are currently supported by FtpWebRequest, HttpWebRequest, and WebClient.
Note Changes to the GlobalProxySelection after a request is made are not reflected in a WebRequest.
