Proxy settings as --chromium-args not working
Opened this issue · 1 comments
I want to use a proxy server for browservice (in particular, to use it in conjunction with Protoweb). This makes for a retro-cool web browsing experience on my vintage PC collection!
Supplying the proxy server as a chromium argument when starting browservice doesn't seem to have any effect. Browservice starts but it still takes me to the non-proxied URL, This may be user/syntax error so happy to be corrected!
I am currently using the following command line on Windows 11 (v 0.9.5.0):
browservice.exe --show-soft-navigation-buttons=YES --vice-opt-http-listen-addr=192.168.1.253:8080 --chromium-args=proxy-server("http=wayback.protoweb.org:7851")
Any help appreciated. To use protoweb with browservice I have to set the proxy settings on my host machine or use a VM, both of which are quite big workarounds!
The following is working on Linux:
browservice-v0.9.7.1-x86_64.AppDir/AppRun --vice-opt-http-listen-addr=0.0.0.0:8080 --show-soft-navigation-buttons=YES --chromium-args=proxy-server="http://wayback.protoweb.org:7851" --start-page=http://www.yahoo.com/
