Hello, I'm working on debugging how web pages work (or not) in the FirefoxOS web browser (I have a Keon running Boot2Gecko 1.0.1.0-prerelease - build id 20130613185731 device for this purpose). I've been trying to figure out how to set up a HTTP proxy for debugging. Basically, I want to have Fiddler or Charles proxy running on a computer on the same WiFi network, and give the web browser on the phone that computer's local IP address as proxy server. The proxy setting can be specified per-WiFi or globally for HTTP(S) traffic. It should be possible per this documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Security/Intercepting_traffic_using_a_proxy
There are two JS files with prefs - one in the web browser's profile folder (prefs.js) and one in the /system/b2g tree (user.js). I've tried to modify either of them to add prefs like these: user_pref("network.proxy.http", "192.168.1.8"); user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 8888); user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1); I've restarted the OS after pushing the modified files to the relevant folders. However, the settings seem to have no effect. Actually, debugging HTTP traffic and studying application behaviour from the HTTP perspective seems like a very important requirement for both app and site developers, so I'd expect a setting somewhere in the developer UI. There is indeed a setting under "Cellular and data > Data settings" but it seems to be for data traffic over a mobile network specifically, not for WiFi, and setting it has no effect either. Same with the ril.data.httpProxyHost setting (which may be what the UI under "Cellular and data" is about). Two questions: 1) Are those settings supposed to work, or are proxy capabilities removed by design? 2) Is it a known issue that such functionality should exist and work - any bugs reported? If not, and if I'd like to push for getting this working (with settings in the UI), where should I report a bug? Thanks in advance, Hallvord Site compatibility tester, FirefoxOS/Firefox Android QA _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
