Hello there,

I was trying to test this with the android web-kit browser...and the proxy does not seem to work. Can I get pointers to make it work ?

I am willing to contribute testing this for android web-kit browser. Please let me know how to do this ?

Thanks and Regards,

    Awesome Santosh! Thanks for the interest to contribute.
    Are you working on the SDK or on the phone? How are you configuring the proxy?

    Hi Narayan -

    Thank you for your prompt response.

    Currently I an testing this with Android Emulator on Windows as well as Linux. The emulator is running in the proxy mode with the parameter <-http-proxy 10.30.10.85:4444>.

    SAHI proxy is running on the machine running windows XP and is configured to listen at 4444. I am able to setup the proxy for IE and Firefox and it's working perfectly, I am able to get the SAHI console and record / play the test scenario.

    On Android Emulator browser - when used with SAHI - I get the network error. But with other proxy software in the same setup, I am able to browse on emulator browser.

    Please advise on the configuration for android so that I can continue further.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Santosh

    Hello Narayan -

    Thank you for responding, the links that you shared talk about setting the proxy for the android debugger. I am able to set the emulator in the proxy mode and the request indeed is landing on the proxy, in this case - SAHI. Post that - the response that SAHI generates is different and hence the http responses are not generated further. I have seen using the wireshark - that the SAHI proxy is receiving that initial GET request - but the response generated is not same as it is generated for the normal browser and hence - the browser attempts a retry before giving it up.

    If required - I can post those wire-shark captures for your analysis and you could guide me for further actions. I an not comfortable with the SAHI code - and in general the SAHI instrumentation with respect to the proxy injection methodologies. I shall dig in further and keep u posted but if have some other directions / comments - please provide them so that I can investigate in that direction.

    Hi Santosh,

    You can email the reports at narayan@sahi.co.in, and we should be able to deduce from there. Could you also let me know how you set up the proxy on android?
