Access HTML Page to Convert Through a Proxy

EVO HTML to PDF Converter for .NET Documentation

If the HTML page you convert needs access through a proxy server from the computer where you run the converter then you can set the properties of the EvoPdfProxyOptions object exposed by the HtmlToPdfConverterProxyOptions property. The proxy server options you can set are the proxy type, the proxy server hostname or IP address, the proxy server TCP port, the username and password if the proxy server requires authentication and also a list of host names to be bypassed and accessed directly without a proxy.

Code Sample - Access a HTML Page Through a Proxy
Copy
protected void convertToPdfButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Create a HTML to PDF converter object with default settings
    HtmlToPdfConverter htmlToPdfConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter();

    // Set license key received after purchase to use the converter in licensed mode
    // Leave it not set to use the converter in demo mode
    htmlToPdfConverter.LicenseKey = "4W9+bn19bn5ue2B+bn1/YH98YHd3d3c=";

    // Set an adddional delay in seconds to wait for JavaScript or AJAX calls after page load completed
    // Set this property to 0 if you don't need to wait for such asynchcronous operations to finish
    htmlToPdfConverter.ConversionDelay = 2;

    // Set proxy type
    // when converting HTML pages from HTTP addresses use the Http proxy type
    // when converting HTML pages from HTTPS addresses use Socks5 proxy type and make sure the proxy server
    // is also configured to use SOCKS5 protocol
    htmlToPdfConverter.ProxyOptions.Type = SelectedProxyType();

    // Set proxy hostname and port number
    // Hostname and port number are required when the proxy type is set to something different from None value
    htmlToPdfConverter.ProxyOptions.HostName = hostNameTextBox.Text;
    htmlToPdfConverter.ProxyOptions.PortNumber = int.Parse(portNumberTextBox.Text);

    // Optionally set proxy username and password if they are required by proxy server
    htmlToPdfConverter.ProxyOptions.Username = usernameTextBox.Text;
    htmlToPdfConverter.ProxyOptions.Password = passwordTextBox.Text;

    // Optionally set a list of hosts to be accessed directly without a proxy
    if (bypassedHostTextBox.Text.Length > 0)
        htmlToPdfConverter.ProxyOptions.BypassedHosts = new string[] { bypassedHostTextBox.Text };

    // Convert the HTML page to a PDF document in a memory buffer
    byte[] outPdfBuffer = htmlToPdfConverter.ConvertUrl(urlTextBox.Text);

    // Send the PDF as response to browser

    // Set response content type
    Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");

    // Instruct the browser to open the PDF file as an attachment or inline
    Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", String.Format("attachment; filename=Proxy_Options.pdf; size={0}", outPdfBuffer.Length.ToString()));

    // Write the PDF document buffer to HTTP response
    Response.BinaryWrite(outPdfBuffer);

    // End the HTTP response and stop the current page processing
    Response.End();
