I suspect you may be looking in the wrong place for this.  We're using

proxy.pac files in order to configure our proxy.

http://nscsysop.hypermart.net/proxypac.html

Here's an example proxy.pac:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {

    if(shExpMatch(url, '/selenium-server/')) {

        return 'PROXY localhost:4444; DIRECT'

    }

}

In other words, the browser will automatically send requests containing

"/selenium-server/" to the proxy, but all other requests are unproxied and

go DIRECT.

Is it possible?

Sure.  Just configure your browser's proxy settings manually and don't use

"firefox" or "iexplore"... instead, just use the path to your browser as

if it were an unsupported browser.

http://www.openqa.org/selenium-rc/tutorial.html#otherbrowsers

So in that case, you'd launch Firefox like this, with no *firefox:

cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe&2=http://www.google.com

At first I thought that if I just edited the proxy.pac file and changed

that line to something like: "return 'PROXY localhost:4444; Proxy

CorporateProxy'" that it would chain the two proxies, but that is not

the case.  It passes to the selenium proxy and that is it.  So it seems

that the line works as a XOR.

Nope, you've misread the file.  What you want is something more like this:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {

    if(shExpMatch(url, '/selenium-server/')) {

        return 'PROXY localhost:4444; DIRECT'

    } else {

        return 'PROXY CorporateProxy';

    }

}

That is, the important part here isn't the "; DIRECT" bit, it's the fact

that this proxy.pac is a traffic controller: if the URL contains

"/selenium-server/" then it needs to go through our proxy; otherwise it

needs to go through yours.  The "; DIRECT" bit just provides a fallback

for when localhost:4444 is down.

I assure you, the change doesn't happen in ProxyHandler; that would only

be useful/needed if you were using our proxy for everything, which you're

not...  You're only using it to access URLs containing

"/selenium-server/".  For everything else, your browser is taking care of

the requests by itself without any intervention from the Selenium Server.

Hi Blaine!

Have you found a solution for your problem?

I think I have the same problem. My testApp runs on a nonproxy Host, but my Images come from a proxied host. So I need a possibiliy to tell the Selenium Server, for a special Host do NOT use the proxy.

Are my thoughts right?

Thanks in advance!

You can ask the selenium server to refrain from proxying requests for a particular host or hosts by setting the http.nonProxyHosts Java property.  For example, to avoid proxying requests from image.server1 and image.server2, you would start the selenium server as follows:

java -jar selenium-server.jar -interactive '-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=image.server1|image.server2'

(Note the quotes to prevent the shell from interpreting the pipe.)

With a client driver, only the following works for me

File : /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/defaults/pref/firefox.js

pref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings",  false); // use the same proxy settings for all protocols
pref("network.proxy.type", 1);
pref("network.proxy.ftp", "myproxy.mydomain.com");
pref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 3333);
pref("network.proxy.gopher", "myproxy.mydomain.com");
pref("network.proxy.gopher_port", 3333);
pref("network.proxy.http", "myproxy.mydomain.com");
pref("network.proxy.http_port", 3333);
pref("network.proxy.ssl", "myproxy.mydomain.com");
pref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 3333);
pref("network.proxy.socks", "myproxy.mydomain.com");
pref("network.proxy.socks_port", 3333);
pref("network.proxy.socks_version", 5);
pref("network.proxy.socks_remote_dns", false);
pref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1");
