Is it possible to play a test script from mobile browser through sahi proxy ?
I am playing with idea if it is possible to do some mobile web testing on the real mobile device (iOS, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile, ...) on its browser - by setting its proxy to sahi and launching some URL - to load and play a test script in the context of that device not in the "context of sahi proxy"?
I thing that SAHI Controller does something similar when we select script file and click Play button - controller sends command to SAHI proxy by URL like "/_s_/dyn/Player_start".
Thanks for any ideas how to do mobile web testing with SAHI on real devices.

P.S.: I know there is a guide "running-sahi-on-android" but this is an emulator example and I am looking for something else ...

What you suggest is possible.
To make Sahi work on iPad, do the following:
Run Sahi Pro on a machine (Windows/Mac/Linux) such that the iPad can access the machine using its IP or machine name.
On iPad, do the following
1) Settings -> General -> Network -> Wi-Fi -> The blue arrow near your network -> HTTP Proxy -> Manual
Server: 10.10.1.100 (IP of machine where Sahi is running. You can find this by running ipconfig on a command prompt)
Port: 9999
Authentication: Off
2) Settings -> Safari -> Accept Cookies = Always
3) Navigate to http://10.10.1.100/_s_/sprm/launch.htm (Change to correct IP)
4) Give Script path and Start URL and click Run
Note that step 2 is very important for the testcase to run.
Hope that helps.
