Selenium Remote Control

For Distributed Testing (Selenium Grid) the RC should offer a mode where system proxies are not set

Component/s: Server
Affects Version/s: 1.0 beta 1
Fix Version/s: None

Original Estimate: Unknown Remaining Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown
Environment: Especially interesting for O.S. browsers (like IE or Safari) that do not offer per instance proxy settings


 Description  « Hide
For launching in parallel multiple browsers relying on shared system proxy settings (mostly IE and Safari) you want to avoid contention between the different Selenese sessions on setting and restoring these settings. An independendant launcher or monitor could be in charge of setting an restoring the proxy, while all new browser sessions would assume that the proxy is properly set.

This is very similar to what can be achieve with the '*custom' browser, but provide a nicer instrumentation hook and let the user express its actual needs (*safari / *iexplore)

This functionality is critical in providing convenient grid facilities for IE and Safari.
