By the way, don't you guys think this should be written somewhere in
the Android docs ?
I think that currently, no app developer is aware of that problem.
Which means that whenever an Android user is connected to a company
network and needs to set an HTTP Proxy, the only working app will be
the browser.
Do you think I should fill a bug report for this ?
Ow, and one more thing : the -verbose-proxy option seems to be unknown
to the Android emulator... Has anyone been able to use it yet ?
Another bug report to fill ?
Cheers,
Piwaï
