I could probably test this, but would have to write a bunch of code to find out and cause the failure. I was hoping someone knew the answer. Just wondering if the proxy is toast after this failure.

Hi Viv,

Not exactly. The binding is created proxy instantiated in this factory method at runtime.

private bool CreateWebServiceProxy()
{
      if (ServiceDispatcher != null)
	return true;

      // Pretest for method safety
      if (ServerUris == null || ServerUris.Count < 1)
	return false;

      bool success = false;

      var binding = new BasicHttpBinding
	{
		MaxBufferSize = 20 * 1024 * 1024,
		MaxReceivedMessageSize = 20 * 1024 * 1024,
		ReaderQuotas = XmlDictionaryReaderQuotas.Max
	};

      foreach (string uri in ServerUris)
      {
	binding.Security.Mode = uri.ToUpper().StartsWith("HTTPS:") ? BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport : BasicHttpSecurityMode.None;


	_endpoint = new EndpointAddress(uri);
	var customBinding = new CustomBinding(binding);
	BindingElementCollection elements = customBinding.CreateBindingElements();

	foreach (var element in elements.OfType<HttpTransportBindingElement>())
	{
		(element).KeepAliveEnabled = false;
	}

	ServiceDispatcher = new WSDispatcherSEIClient(customBinding, _endpoint);
	Global.Log.Add(LoggingDebugLevel.Hint, string.Format("Communicator.Connect: trying to connect to '{0}'...", this._endpoint));

	success = CheckService();

	if (success)
	{
	      _callWebServiceTotal = 0;
	      Global.Log.Add(LoggingDebugLevel.Hint, string.Format("Communicator.Connect: connected to '{0}'", this._endpoint));

	      // Got a valid uri, so call it good and get out.
	      break;
	}
      }
return success;
}
