Hi there! Let me jump in that discussion because my question or my problem is similar. I am currently trying to figure out how Android deals with proxy support for data calls and I have found that once the data call setup is done the GsmDataConnectionTracker.onDataSetupComplete() method sets the proxy conf. via the DataConnectionAC object by using the setLinkPropertiesHttpProxySync() method. At the end the proxy conf is set with the mLinkProperties.setHttpProxy(proxy) method. From that point I get lost and am not able to follow the code and therefore do not figure out how proxy support is handled for data calls. Robert, please could you shed some light here. Thanks in advance. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Respectfully.
