Great Solution. I added request.proxy = null; to my code and hey presto! Working

Many thanks

@campbell, Did that work? If it did, that is probably a more elegant solution :)

Assigning request.Credentials seems to create the dummy proxy, so presumably you need to set request.Proxy = null/Nothing _after_ assigning credentials?

@Gavin

Sorry for not seeing this sooner. Have you tried Alan McFarlane’s suggestion in this post on MSDN Forums?

Hope that helps!

Long shot as this is an old post, I need to upload a file via proxy server (and I must use the proxy) setting proxy to null is not an option for me. I can transfer files using filezilla by setting the proxy setting correctly (http/1.1 using CONNECT method – ‘myproxyserver’ port 80). This tells me that it should be possible, I need to do this in code because this has to be automated. Any ideas?

Worked great for me. I simulated the problem by starting up a local proxy using Fiddler and got the above error from my ftp function. The addition of request.proxy = nothing solved the issue and files can now publish through the proxy… awesome. Thanks!

I dont find above solution valueable because i still found some error again and again.
