Python proxy support for HtmlUnit thru Remote Server

[dkh...@gmail.com]

Hi There,

I have a quick question for the group:

I've just started using the python web bindings with the latest svn
checkout from googlecode, all tests are passing and everything is
working great :-)

The problem is that I've just downloaded and run the remote server to
allow me to use htmlunit from Python, however I'm behind a proxy here
at work and I can't figure out how to setup the proxy for htmlunit
thru the python remote connector ?

I see from the bottom of this post that's it's possible in java using
setProxy, however when I checked the python code for the
remote_connector this method does not exist :-(

http://groups.google.com/group/webdriver/browse_thread/thread/71e41e35ecc2b15/21211f7a4b17e517

Anybody have an idea as to how to configure a proxy from htmlunit thru
Python ?

Many thanks for any help that anyone can give me on this...

Take care,

Derek

Hi Derek,

I've not tried it, but you might want to start the remote server with
the "http.proxyHost" and http.proxyPort" settings:

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=host -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -jar RemoteServer.jar

There are matching settings for https.
