Platform SDK: CDO for Windows 2000

Setting Network Proxy Information

When using methods such as IMessage.AddAttachment and IMessage.CreateMHTMLBody, you may need to access network resources through a proxy server. You set up the proxy configuration for a Message object as follows:

  1. Set the http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/urlproxyserver field in the IConfiguration.Fields collection of the Configuration object.
  2. Optionally set the http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/urlproxybypass field to the value "<local>". With this setting, the proxy service will be bypassed for local addresses.
  3. Optionally set the http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/urlgetlatestversion field to force retrieval of resources directly and bypass the cache.
