HTTP proxy + WCF netMessagingBinding + Service Bus - azure

Question

Need help with configuring HTTP Proxy while using netMessagingBinding to connect to Service Bus endpoint.
I have an Internet access through the proxy server. When I try to connect to the WCF Service hosted on a worker role on Azure through Service Bus endpoint I get exception that the application cannot connect to the remote endpoint. When I do the same thing through direct internet access everything works perfectly.

Proxy servers can be tricky depending on the type of proxy. Try changing the settings of your web.config/app.config to enable proxy support:
Detect automatically:
<system.net>
<defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true" />
</system.net>
Define proxy url:
<system.net>
<defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true" />
<proxy autoDetect="True" proxyaddress="http://..."/>
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
Custom credentials:
<appSettings>
<add key="ProxyUser" value="" />
<add key="ProxyPassword" value="" />
<add key="ProxyDomain" value="" />
<add key="ProxyUrl" value="" />
</appSettings>
<system.net>
<defaultProxy enabled="true">
<module type="CustomProxyCredentials.ProxyBridge, CustomProxyCredentials"/>
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
namespace CustomProxyCredentials
{
public class ProxyBridge : IWebProxy
{
public ICredentials Credentials
{
get { return new NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProxyUser"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProxyPassword"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProxyDomain"]); }
set { }
}
public Uri GetProxy(Uri destination)
{
return new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProxyUrl"]);
}
public bool IsBypassed(Uri host)
{
return false;
}
}
}
Connectivity mode:
Microsoft.ServiceBus.ServiceBusEnvironment.SystemConnectivity.Mode = Microsoft.ServiceBus.ConnectivityMode.Http;
Anyways, configuration should be sufficient in order for this to work correctly.
