Description
Hello,
I am trying to setup Webview2 with proxy. Afaik the way to go is to use the --proxy-server argument.
I've tried HTTP and SOCKSv5 without authentication using --proxy-server="protocol://ipaddress:port", and it works as intended. However, when I tried setting proxy server with credentials using --proxy-server="protocol://username:password@ipaddress:port" both HTTP and SOCKSv5 leads to "ERR_NO_SUPPORTED_PROXIES" error.
So I had some questions regarding this:
- Does the
--proxy-serverargument currently support authentication? - If so, how to properly set it up? And if not, is there a workaround?
