What is ServicePointManager.FindServicePoint used for?

Question

Can someone explain what ServicePointManager.FindServicePoint is for? I wrote code for working with proxy servers in C # and saw indicators that may be useful in this regard, but they cannot understand why and how. How should this class (ServicePointManager) or method (ServicePointManager.FindServicePoint) be used (or when)?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The method ServicePointManager.FindServicePoint(...)will help you get the object ServicePointthat you specified in the configuration file.

Let's say this is your configuration file:

<configuration>
 <system.net>
  <connectionManagement>
   <add address="http://www.contoso.com" maxconnection="2" />
   <add address="192.168.1.2" maxconnection="4" />
   <add address="*" maxconnection="1" />
  </connectionManagement>
 </system.net>
</configuration>

" http://www.microsoft.com" ServicePoint:

ServicePoint sp1 = ServicePointManager.FindServicePoint(new Uri("http://www.microsoft.com"));
