IMO setting a proxy is quiet useful so it's strange that Webdriver spec doesn't describe that. 112496 1 kevin 2014-09-30 21:07:08 +0000 In addition, I think proxy support should be provided as a required capability. I've used proxies in two primary use cases. One is for request header injection for things like HTTP Basic authentication via tools such as BrowserMob Proxy. The second is to prevent DDoSing a server by ensuring all traffic is directed at a local caching proxy. While it's possible a driver may not provide per-connection proxy configuration, I think as a caller I'd like to receive the error rather than have the connection proceed over a non-proxied connection. Then I can make the determination whether to proceed. I certainly don't want to invoke FUD, but I could envision a situation where the proxy is intended to do some request massaging with sensitive data that could be otherwise leaked if simply ignored. 113431 2 vlotoshnikov 2014-10-19 21:32:32 +0000 Specifying proxy may require capabilities dictionary to allow nested dictionaries: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27103 120615 3 dburns 2015-05-30 19:45:58 +0000 PR for this in https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/pull/72 120841 4 dburns 2015-06-09 15:59:24 +0000 landed in https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/commit/5b8f75d53ba2c158c5afe44641f03e1784e069e5
