Getbhavcopy: Free NSE and BSE data downloader

Dear Hemen,

Could you please add following proxy setting in your "Getbhavcopy.exe.config" file so that we can use your programe from our offices.

1) proxy address : port

2) user name (valid proxy user name)

3) password (valid proxy user password)

Regards,

RAM

Hi,

The proxy configuration (i.e. server address, port , authentication information) is different for different users depending on the setting in the company.

In the getbhavcop.exe.config, i have set it to use System proxy settings. You can set the proxy setting in Internet Explorer and Getbhavcopy will honour that.

Try it and let me know if that does not work. I have no way of testing that at my place.

Dear Hemen,

I have checked in my office enviornment, but it is not working.  I don't know why. is it not possible to set these details within the config file itself.  It will be even better if you add these facility under a proxt setting tab in your application itself just like we set the BSE and NSE path and download options.

Hope you will think about it.

Are you able to access NSE and BSE sites using internet explorer in your office once you make the proxy settings ?

Dear Hemen,

I have made few changes in your proxy config file (without your permission) and now it is working fine at me end... both under proxy and without proxy env.

Please have a look into the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

  <system.net>

    <settings>

      <httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true"/>

    </settings>

    <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">

      <proxy usesystemdefault="true" bypassonlocal="true"/>

    </defaultProxy>

  </system.net>

</configuration>

No issues. Good to know that you got it working, since I did not have any good test environment.

Thanks for sharing your findings as it may help others facing the same issue.

Hi,

I tried updating these details, but still it comes up with the same error (407) proxy authentication required.

Is there a way of hard coding the username and password into this configuration file.?

Thanks,

Did you try storing the username and password in Internet Explorer

Yes, its already stored and whenever I try opening a new webpage, it comes up with the proxy authentication dialog box with the values filled in, and all I need to do is to click OK and it browses. And please note that the office proxy is not using NTLM authentication.
