Selenium Driver behind a proxy

[Anthony Green]

I've an issue connecting to the Selenium Hub when developing behind a proxy.

The attempt to connect to "http://127.0.0.1:7055/hub/session" fails as the response that comes back is the proxy's response.

Is there a way of ensure that Selenium Driver uses it's own proxy setting to connect with the hub.

All the information I can find regarding proxies deals only with those related to the browser.

TIA

Anthony

Can you please try using the JVM args : -Dhttp.proxyHost=10.0.0.100 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8800 and pass your corp proxy host and port to the selenium standalone jar and see if that helps ?

Thanks & Regards

After some initial investigation the problem may be due to webdriver's use of Ruby's core NET::HTTP class. Making the same request in irb generates the same HTTP 5xx error. 

NET::HTTP appears to be using the system's proxy setting but not the system's no_proxy settings

Anthony,

This is how i connect to proxy using a pac file in my org

my webdriver was global.

              System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver.exe");

        String PROXY = "http://www.yourcompany.com/pf/proxy_template.pac";

org.openqa.selenium.Proxy proxy = new org.openqa.selenium.Proxy();

proxy.setProxyAutoconfigUrl(PROXY);

DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();

cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);

d1 = new ChromeDriver(cap);

After this just print whatsmyip.com & it will show you that you are connected via proxy.
