File Upload - Getting ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED

[Gopinath Reddiagowder]

Hi all,

We are trying to automate file upload using Selenium Web driver and we are achieving this using Auto IT script. The Auto IT scripts picks up the file and performs the upload, but when we check the service request status in the Network tab of developer console we are seeing Status as " ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED" and in UI we end up in Network Error and file is not uploaded Successfully. 

We are suspecting that this issue could be due to Browsermob proxy. We are using browsermob proxy through out our application to read the service request and response.  Also while analyzing this issue,  we tried a sample code for file upload with out using browsermob and we were able to upload the file successfully and also in service calls we are not seeing any failure status.

We have used Browsermob proxy in many places in our application to read the request and response, so we cannot remove the BrowserMob Proxy code any where in our entire application automation. 

Can some suggest how to resolve this Proxy Issue.

ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED is a browser-based error, it means your browser is not able to connect to the internet because of the proxy connection. Either you have invalid proxy connection or configuration of proxy is controlled by the third party. . You can usually solve this issue with the following  steps:

Change Proxy settings

Renew IP address 

Delete Proxy Server Registry Key

Reset TCP/IP
