           Summary: Cannot override proxy settings from the command line
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: spamfaenger at gmx.de


This is crucial for browser automation tools like  windmill
<http://getwindmill.com/> (but many other too) which need to route all browser
output through their proxy to be able to automate it reliably.

Google Chrome apparently allows this - but I haven't yet found a way to do this
with Safari. One can set the proxy via the System Proxy settings, this however
affects all applications on the machine so it is very undesireable (especially
if you want to have browser automation tests running in the background while
you develop on the machine.

So please allow this to be overriden from the command-line.
