This is the base class for all web server proxy classes. It includes
basic properties like Url, which is usually set to
the appropriate web service address in the proxy
class's constructor, and Timeout,
which specifies a value in milliseconds. By default, the proxy class
uses a Timeout of -1, which represents infinity,
although the web server can still time out the request on the server
side. The RequestEncoding property is overridden
by derived classes to provide the appropriate character encoding.
To set Credentials, you must use a
System.Net.ICredentials object like
System.Net.NetworkCredential and set the
credentials that are specific to the type of authentication you are
using. You can also set the PreAuthenticate
property to True, which will cause the proxy class
to automatically send authentication information with every request.
