Jay, though that would be the ideal place for this information, it has not been updated for 2.1. Below I will list the methods that currently do NOT work for the 2.1 emulator.

The http-post argument does not work for the 2.1 emulator. Setting a proxy in the APN list within the 2.1 emulator does not work. Inserting the proxy directly into the system table via sql-lite does not work with 2.1.

In fact, the ONLY way to get the browser to connect to the internet via the emulator that I've found in 2.1, is to NOT use a proxy at all. I really hope this gets fixed soon, for there are many people with this same problem.
