This is my code generated from VFP. The key line is the setting of the ConnectorProperty setting. This uses my settings from IE and works through the proxy.

loWSHandler = NEWOBJECT("WSHandler",IIF(VERSION(2)=0,"",HOME()+"FFC\")+"_ws3client.vcx")
	loISoapServerPort = loWSHandler.SetupClient("http://xml.redcoal.com/soapserver.dll/wsdl/ISoapServer", "ISOAPServerservice", "ISoapServerPort")
	
	* added by BAB for use behind a proxy. Comment it out if not needed
	loWSHandler.wsobject.ConnectorProperty("ProxyServer") = "<CURRENT_USER>"
	
	* Call your XML Web service here.  ex: leResult = loISoapServerPort.SomeMethod()

>use CREATEOBJECT("MSXML.XMLHTTP.4.0"), this library does use IE proxy settings when set per default (including PAC file ones),

>3) for internet via proxy and credentials (user/password),
>use CREATEOBJECT("MSXML.XMLHTTP.4.0"), this library does not use IE proxy settings, the user is requested to insert user/password in a VFP form prior to any call. The proxy set-up is done via proxyconfig.cfg or via ini file settings.
