I need to set an HTTP proxy so that my web driver instance can get out to the Internet. This post is related, but deals with connecting to the hub / driver through a proxy:
Using Selenium RemoteWebDriver behind corporate proxy (Java)
Instead, I need to tell the driver to use the HTTP proxy to get to the Internet. When passing in the proxy in the desired capabilities, it appears it is ignored and I cannot get out to the Internet. I am using jbrowserdriver as a remote web driver provider.
