[Q] Set UNROOTED Phone HTTP proxy settings on Wifi networks - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I would like to know if it's possible to setup an HTTP Proxy for Wifi networks.
I managed to setup the proxy (calling the "com.android.settings.ProxySelector" activity by code or using an app like Any Cut) but when I'm connected to the Wifi it seems that the proxy settings are ignored (I'm trying with multiple "default" apps like browser, maps, ...).
Sometimes it seems that the settings is read correctly by the browser and the proxy works without problems, but it seems more like a bug on the app (because is really hard to reproduce it). Anyone here that have clear ideas about this topic?

Proxy Setting on Wifi

I cant seem to connect to my office network because we are working behind a proxy and the G1 does not allow to enter a Proxy name!!!!
is there a way to enter a proxy name and port number in the browser or in the system. It can be done for APN but not WiFi!!!
Any suggestions!!!!
Hi Shobbow
I noticed this too, since i was trying to run all my traffic through a secure tunnel to my home computer.
I believe you need to use something like this

hopefully the route application should be able to route all traffic?
Let me know how you get on since this would be interesting if you can do it

Finally an application for Proxy Setting
check the market or check

Fuze - VPN to Compnay Network - Remote Desktop Works, Intranet browsing does not

I have the AT&T Fuze with the stock ROM. I purchased it the first day it came out. I think this was 11/11/2008. I have the PDA Personal plan for unlimited data. I have things set up so that my contacts and email synch with our Exchange server. I can remote desktop from my Fuze using the data network to any machine that I can remote to from my computer, so from that, I am thinking VPN must be configured correctly. On one of these machines that I connect to, I have IIS running and put a very simple web page on it (no script, nothing IE specific). From my work computer, it loads fine. I can remote desktop from my Fuze to any machine on the network and launch IE and load it. But, I can't load it directly from my Fuze in either Opera or IE. It does initiate the VPN connection. But, then I get the error HTTP gateway timed out. I'm really not interested in viewing the page that I created. We use Perforce, which is source control system. It has a jobs portion, which we use to track bugs. There is a web interface to the jobs, which is on the intranet, not internet. I don't have rights to remote to the Perforce server, and that is why I initially tried putting a simple page on a machine that i am an admin on. I want to be able to click on a link in my email and have it load the bug in Opera. If I am home and turn on WiFi, and disable the data network, this works fine. This bypasses AT&T's machines, which makes me think there is something that AT&T is blocking. And if they are, then maybe it is the AT&T bloat this is telling them what it is. Our IT guy has verified that I am successfully VPNing in. He is seing the mycingular.net in the firewall.
My boss has the same phone, but purchased more recently, and his is working fine for this. He has flashed the new AT&T test ROM, and done the thing that keeps the AT&T bloat from getting installed.
The fact that remote desktop works, but browsing a webpage on the same machine does not, makes me think there is more to this than just network settings.
If anyone has the anwer to this, please share. If I find the answer, I will post it is well. I have extensively searched the forum for the answer to this, and have not found anything that worked. If I have missed something, I appologize.
Sort of works now, still have an issue
After going to the proxy tab, and checking that This network connects to the Internet and checking the check box that this network uses a porcy server to connect to the internet. Then specify the server. Then go to Advanced and change the HTTP port to 8080 instead of just 80. I also put the user id, password and Domain in on the proxy for HTTP.
But I get prompted for a user id and password from the proxy erveer. I have entered it and clicked the checkbox to save it. It does not display the same info that I entered the next time and it does not display what was entered on the HTTP proxy page. It is a drop down, and I can select the correct one. It's just annoying to need to. I'd like to clear this cache.
Also, to initially get it working I had to disable HSDPA and HSUPA, restart. Then reenable it. I have the registry on my Fuze which give me the menu option on the Advanced network tab to do this.
Figured out how to clear the cache issue - still prompts
The cache was a setting in Opera for passwords.
It still asks for the password. At least it is prefilled with the correct info, since I now only have the one entry, so it is just 1 click, but I should not need to do this step.
Any one know what I need to do to fix this.
If I try to load it in IE, it just tries but never succeeds and never asks for a password, just says Opening.
Connections
Why should I need to set this to connect to the Internet, and use the ISA server? I would think if it needs to connect to the internet, it should be able to just use the Media Net
My Media Net Settings are
Modem -
Name - Modem
Media Net - wap.cingular
Advanced shows the modem in the drop down list as Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
The drop down is disabled
Next
Access Point Nam - wap.cingular
Next
User name - [email protected]
don't know what the password is. I've never changed it.
Domain is blank
Next
TPC/IP
Use server - assigned IP address is selected
Use software compression and use IP header compression are checked.
Use slip is not checked and the checkbox is disabled
Servers
Use Servr Assigned addresses is selected
So DN,Alt DNS, WINS, and ALT WINS are disabled.
Proxy Settings
This network connects to the internet
This networks uses a proxy server to connect to the internet is not checked.
More info and additional question
Navigating to some intranet sites does not prompt me for the isa server.
such as http://machine/virtdir/Default.aspx
seems to work without being prompted
but
http://perforcemachine:8080/@md=d&cd=//&[email protected]//?ac=107&mx=25
prompts me for the password.
Also, in order to get either of these links to work, I need to have in my exceptions:
*.companyname.com/*
Where companyname is the actual companyname.
This is annoying because it makes it connect to the VPN when synching with the exchange server. Before I want on the quest to get these links to intranet sites to work, I synched with the exchange server without connecting to the VPN.
I've tried putting in isa.companyname.com in the exceptions, but that doesn't work.
Is there a way to do *.companyname.com/* except mail.companyname.com?
I suspect all of this is in the registry somewhere.

[Q] wifi proxy?

There are static ip, gateway, mask in advanced wifi setting, but there isn't proxy setting. I'm on CM7 #41. Can anyone help on this? Thanks much!
CM is still Alpha, which means not all features implemented yet.
Have you tried searching the Market for a proxy app? I saw this one just now, along with many others: http://www.appbrain.com/app/http-proxy-settings/org.credil.proxysettings
I've never tried them, but couldn't hurt for you to.
I was also wondering about the wi fi proxy settings, i tried the http proxy settings application, it doesnt work for me, plus it doesnt have the option for a usename and password....
anyone else got an ideas?

[Q] How to set Proxy for connections?

Hello,
I need to setup proxy for my Sensation, but nothing is working.
I've tryed many apps like ProxyDroid, Auto Proxy, etc.
When I'm setting proxy and trying to open browser (for ex. google.com) it's says 'site is unavailable' = no one app is working when proxy is set
Also tryed proxy options in wifi settings (Wifi is working then without proxy...)
Phone is rooted.
I don't have any ideas anymore, please help.
*bump* .
Sorry, but I don't believe that nobody know anything about this case...

[Q] Proxy setting doesn't function right.

What's the deal with the WAP proxy (for cell / APN access, not wifi)?
My provider requires the usage of a proxy for all traffic.
This works OK for the browser, and for People.
It is completely broken (no connection detected) for other apps: Mail, Maps, Marketplace, etc.
In Android there is a solution for apps which doesn't by default read the OS proxy settings - you can use a rooted app like Proxymater to inspect and re-route traffic first.
In Mango, with the addition of the OS Proxy setting, I would expect that at the very least, all the built-in apps would work, considering this is a Microsoft-added feature. But even that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to be broken. Is there any solution?
