Proxy settings for HttpWebRequest

[Vincent Mouton]

Hi,

a quick question. When calling a URI using a HttpWebRequest I always add
the necessary proxy settings uptill now. But I'm just wondering if I
actually need to do this. When a user defined proxy settings for the
default connection on his OS, are those settings used? Is the request
with HttpWebRequest going through these settings? Just wondering.

thanks a lot,
Vincent

Yes, by default the OS proxy settings are used.
