Make an HTTP request through a SOCKS proxy

Question

How can I make an HTTP request through a SOCKS/SOCKS5 proxy? It seems that HttpWebRequest only supports an HTTP proxy, without support for SOCKS5.

I think this post might be really helpfull to you. The anwser states why certain .NET classses are not capable of using a socks5 proxy directly and explains how to write client code using the WebClient and HTTPWebRequest classes.

This one might be helpful as well since it shows how to use a third party .NET library offering the functionality to talk to socks5 proxies.

I extended my post. Try approach #2 (Third party .NET). – MarkusAtCvlabDotDe Nov 25 '15 at 10:04
I will try it and ask you later. Thank you very much – Michael Davis Nov 25 '15 at 10:07
