How to configure proxy settings for HTML to PDF conversion

Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:56 pm

I have written code to use the new plugin for converting HTML to PDFs, and it is working fine for most of our scenarios. However, I have run into one problem. It works fine when converting HTML from strings, local files, and web pages at URLs outside of our company's local network. But it is not able to access resources INSIDE our company. Every time I try, it times out trying to read them. We do have a proxy server to connect to the outside and the plugin seems to be getting the address of the proxy server from my computer's configuration just fine, but it doesn't seem to be getting the exception list.

Is there any way to configure the proxy settings for this tool?

It turns out that the proxy configuration is actually correct, but our local web sites require authentication which the tool is not providing. This is a little more involved so I really don't need a solution from your side, but it would be nice to know how to include credentials in the requests.

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply as weekend.
Sorry at present our Spire.PDF doesn't support configuring the proxy settings when using Plugin method to convert HTML to PDF. If there is anything else we can do for you, please feel free to contact us.
