Whitelisting IP addresses is a common practice used by third party APIs. Unfortunately, BC in the cloud requires third parties to whitelist all of Azure datacenter IP addresses which is usually not acceptable by third parties. An alternate option is to use a Proxy server with a static IP address. However, the HttpRequest option does not appear to have this capability. Here is .net code where one can specify a proxy. It would be great to have a proxy property.


WebRequest request2 = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://authapi.demo.bluetarp.com/auth/v1.1/207/customers?merchant-cid=10000");
request2.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Authorization, "Bearer " + responseFromServer);
request2.Proxy = new WebProxy("http://52.150.51.110:33218",true);
