+2Hello Nintex Community,
When using the workflow action "Web Request", does any one know what this action uses for a proxy? Is it using the default proxy, the proxy from the SharePoint web.config, or a custom proxy?
Just to give a little information about my SharePoint environment:
SharePoint Server 2013 on premises
Nintex Workflow 2013 (3.1.6)
#NintexWorkFlow #WebRequest

I got word back from Nintex:
The WebRequest uses the proxy that is set up on the server. I assume Nintex support means in the web.config for that WebApplication. If you use the "proxycfg" command, it shows the current WinHTTP proxy settings.
+7Hi Renaldo,
To be perfectly honest I'm not sure. I'm guessing your are trying to access information outside of your company?
I think this is handled by the SharePoint server's internet access. I know when I wanted to get Nintex Live up and running, there was a few thing that needed to be sorted. One was the internet access for the services account that I'm using to run the checks and a second thing was the firewall rules needed to be opened for the Nintex Live traffic to be able to go through. Not sure if this helps.
Kind Regards,
+2Thanks Francois. Live is working properly in our environment. I was just inquiring to see where the WebRequest action in workflow pulls the proxy from. The reason is because even if I remove the proxy from the web.config and reset iis on the web servers, the request still uses the proxy. I opened a case up with Nintex, and I will let you know once I hear back from them.

Is web.config modification the confirmed way to make web requests use a proxy?
Thanks in advance
