In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or another resource available from a different server and the proxy server evaluates the request as a way to simplify and control its complexity.

Mac System Proxy

• Hi Bryan,
  Could you please try the options as given here: http://sahi.co.in/w/mac-xml
  It would look something like:
  I would also recommend you to use testrunner.sh and the browserType, instead of passing in individual browser parameters.

  Hi Narayan:
  I tried your suggestion with using testrunner.sh and browserType first. Chrome did not start.
  *Updated* I then went back to the command line and tried the command below. This command worked! The default Chrome profile location was used because when the sahi0 profile was used, Chrome did not start.
  Thanks
  Bryan
