Proxy..

[Eman]

I have tried implementing a proxy with WebDriver similar to this post
http://groups.google.com/group/webdriver/browse_thread/thread/915e08e366948d5d
by overwriting the method as below

@Override
protected WebClient newWebClient(BrowserVersion version) {
WebClient client = new WebClient(
version,
"localhost",
1080);
client.setThrowExceptionOnFailingStatusCode(true);
client.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
client.setRedirectEnabled(true);
try {
client.setUseInsecureSSL(true);
}
catch (GeneralSecurityException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
return client;
}


I then set up a socks proxy by SSH in to another linux box as such
'sudo ssh -D 1080 user@linuxbox'

I am able to use the proxy through firefox just fine, but with
HtmlUnitDriver I get the following...

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException:

The crazy thing is that when I close the ssh client the test runs
fine??? Anyone know how to get this to work?

Hi,

The HtmlUnitDriver exposes a "setProxy" method: try setting the proxy
using that:

HtmlUnitDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.setProxy("localhost", 1080);
