How to get HttpWebRequest.Timeout to work with a proxy

A HttpWebRequest times out at 100 s by default. If I set the Timeout property to 10 s, it behaves as expected. If I do they same with a WebProxy, the connection times out at 100 s. Apparently the settings doesn't apply when using a proxy. How can I get timeout to work with a proxy?

Hi Cory,

When using a proxy server the usual timeout settings of the request don't apply. You need to set a separate timeout for the proxy server in order for the request to time out.

So the problem is that the timeot settings that you set for a request don't always work when using a proxy server

Code:

---

Proxy.ReadWriteTimeout
