Proxy server not supported

[MichelDaoust]

Hi,
Thank you for you API but ...

Should return a good error (Proxy authentication) or better : Allow passing proxy info in the API. Now, the exception is a JSON token error, not really helpful.

Thank you.

Hi @MichelDaoust. Could you please share some more information? what exactly do you expect to achieve and what's the exact issue you're currently facing (a reference to the code and a full error stacktrace would be very appreciated). Thanks!

Hi @roeeba ,
I want to upload an image to Cloudinary.

In project CloudinaryDotNet.Core.csproj

If you look the result of the response in Api.Parse returned when you upload a file (from the CallAndParse function) you receive this HTTP reponse :

{StatusCode: 407, ReasonPhrase: 'authenticationrequired', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.NoWriteNoSeekStreamContent, Headers:\r\n{\r\n Cache-Control: no-cache\r\n Date: Mon, 05 Feb 2018 20:16:14 GMT\r\n Proxy-Authenticate: NTLM\r\n Proxy-Authenticate: Basic realm="xxxxxxxx.com"\r\n Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n Content-Length: 4076\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n}}
Content [HttpContent]:{System.Net.Http.NoWriteNoSeekStreamContent}

So look the authenticationrequired and there is not valid JSON in the body.

So the result is when you get the JSON object from the response, you have this exception (because your HTTP response is now how you expect it) :

fail: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics.DeveloperExceptionPageMiddleware[0]
An unhandled exception has occurred while executing the request
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Error reading JToken from JsonReader. Path '', line 0, position 0.

thank you.

Hi @MichelDaoust. While it's still on our roadmap to support this in-house, you may find the following solution helpful - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/network/defaultproxy-element-network-settings
