Hello,

We starting EO browser when our application comes up. During our testing, we have blocked outgoing communication from the test machine to the actual server machine to check the validity. Test machine has to connect to server machine using proxy. Proxy details we have given in Internet Options and they are working fine.

When we try to launch a URL, we are getting error code from our javascript saying that the IP address cannot be reached. Upon further investigation, we realized that EO browser is sending requests directly to the server machine not to the proxy.

Any quick response for this is highly appreciated.

Hi,

We tested with the latest build and have verified that EO.WebBrowser does respect proxy settings in IE's options dialog. We tested with our TabbedBrowser sample. Can you try the same and see if it works for you?

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your reply.

I forgot to mention that, the reported problem occurs only when the server is running on SSL (i.e. with HTTPS) and we are connecting from a proxy server (either HTTP or SOCKS5). If server is running on HTTP, everything works fine.

Hi,

You won't be able to use SSL proxy with EO.WebBrowser. EO.WebBrowser is based on Google Chrome. Google Chrome does support SSL proxy but in order to use this feature, you must provide a pac Url through command switch. Arbitrary command line switches are not exposed in our interface. We are considering to add an additional "command line arguments" parameter to our API so that you can pass whatever additional parameters you want to pass to the core browser engine. This way you will be able to find the corresponding Google Chrome command line arguments and pass it EO.WebBrowser.

Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion. The Proxy was not running on SSL. Our web server is running on SSL. Proxy is still accepting plain connections.
