Hello.

Chad I was just wondering if you got a response for your question?

I have had a post out there for 20 days about proxy with no response so I
will ask this question.
is there any reason why they would not include proxy server configuration in
MSXML 4.0 Client Send ?

    xmlCon As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP40
    xmlCon.open "POST", HostServer, False
    xmlCon.send xmldoc.XML

in this code I would think they would include something like
    xmlCon.proxySettings = "port:80,pass=test1" 'or something to that effect
