Connection over a proxy Quickfix/n

I am trying to establish a connection with quickfix/n but I am behind the company firewall. So I need to connect over a proxy to the acceptor. According to the documentation of quickfix/j it is possible via JAVA, however in the documentation of quickfix/n there is no information about possibility of connecting to the acceptor over a proxy via C#.

Is it possible at all to do that from C# with quickfix/n ? In JAVA this can be done via configuration file, e.g.:

ProxyType=http
ProxyVersion=1.1
ProxyHost=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
ProxyPort=YYYY

I had checked the below repo https://github.com/mcjacek/quickfixn

In the code, the else block is not coded if suppose the username and password is not provided for the proxy host. Let us know if in the else block we need to send the request to the endpoint without the including the proxyMessage used for the authorization.

QuickFix/n v.1.7.0 does not support proxy at all. QuickFix/n v.1.10.0 does support proxy (automatic via. WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy()), however it does not support bypassing of the proxy details (user name and password).

I have created my own fork from v1.7.0 that supports user defined proxy (not WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy) + credentials. This can be found here: https://github.com/mcjacek/quickfixn

ProxyHost=proxy.intranet.yourproxy.com
ProxyPort=8080
ProxyUserName=UserName
ProxyUserNamePassword=Password

I will soon refactor and create PR to merge it to master.
