Using WWW with a Proxy

Symptoms 

• I want to use WWW with a Proxy in players (runtime), but it does not work. (Not WebPlayer)

If you use WWW with a Proxy in players (runtime, not WebPlayer) it may fail.

WebPlayer takes the Proxy settings from the browser automatically. Other players (runtime) work differently and cannot use a Proxy. Therefore you can use this workaround with the WebClient and WebProxy classes and still use the Proxy:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Net;

public class MyWebProxy : MonoBehaviour
{
    void NewClient()
    {
       string yourProxyServer = "yourproxyserver.com";// you can use "yourproxyserver.com:port"
       WebClient client = new WebClient();

       WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy(yourProxyServer); 
       // check proxy.Credentials property and NetworkCredential class if you proxy uses user/password
       client.Proxy = proxy;
     }

}

With this code, you can use WebProxy.Credentials and the NetworkCredential class to set user/password info.
