WS_E_PROXY_FAILURE
WS_E_PROXY_FAILURE is a Windows Web Services API HRESULT. It means that the HTTP proxy involved in the request failed to process or forward the request successfully.
Diagnostic discriminator: Separate failure of the proxy itself from failure of the destination behind it. Test proxy reachability and inspect the proxy-generated status or log entry before probing the origin directly. A healthy origin does not clear a proxy fault if policy requires that path. Preserve resolved proxy settings, bypass decisions and upstream failure evidence.
What to check for WS_E_PROXY_FAILURE
- Verify the proxy address, automatic configuration result, bypass list and proxy health.
- Inspect proxy status codes and logs for policy, upstream connectivity or authentication failures.
- Do not bypass a required corporate proxy without confirming the security and network policy.
