Hi There, I recently started a new job which has a very draconian approach to internet browsing. Specifically gmail is blocked and its very frustrating.
Moral issues aside I have recently discovered that I can use a Gmail Gadget via Google Desktop to access Gmail without issue. Seemingly things accessed via Google Desktop bypass the proxy that my web browsers are susceptible to. Currently I've had to add a --proxy-server argument to Chrome to enable me to use it instead of IE7. However, this proxy points to the network proxy that blocks a whole bunch of sites. Is there some way to point Chrome to the network connection used by Google Desktop? There's plenty of information online about a Google Desktop Proxy but this seems more about accessing Google Desktop on my computer, from other computers. Not quite what I was after. Apologies that this isn't really a dev question specifically however I couldn't find a more appropriate forum for my query. Also I realise should just deal with the corporate rules of my new job but I'm not like that :P Thanks for any assistance. - Jason de Puit -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Desktop Developer Group" group.
