Hi Dan, I do want to use a proxy in a _real_ device, for the existing firewall and all the other built in apps. It sounds really stupid if there is no way to set a proxy even though there is a way to access it programmatically. I have to travel to a university quite frequently on work, and their network is accessible only through a proxy server!
Anybody knows if the option is hidden somewhere? Or at least an app that might help me do this? I wouldn't mind coding it myself, but unfortunately don't have the time! Thanks, Krishna.
