Re: Safari on Mac OS X doesn't work with the RC Proxy

[Brian Godden]

I think my problem here is having to do with the way I am configuring the proxy settings for Safari, there is one way that I'm able to get this to work:

If I set my System proxy settings to point to localhost:4444, bypassing localhoost and 127.0.0.1 for the proxy, and run the Selenium server on that localhost and also run the actual test from the same localhost, Safari works! (well, Safari 3 that is). I do seem to still have trouble making Safari 2 work this way.

I've tried adding the remote host (that will run the tests from Eclipse) to the list of bypassed hosts and this doesn't seem to work, and the server runs out of threads... (I'm running 0.9.2 SNAPSHOT by the way). I also run into the "about:balnk" invalid URL issue this way.

All I've found in the docs are that you can have these sorts of problems if you configure the proxy incorrectly, it's even in the FAQ, but no mention of *how* to set it up correctly! That is a bit maddening, I must say.

Can anyone help? Does anyone know how to correctly set the proxy configuration for this?

Thanks for any help...
