Proxy which requires authentication with Android Emulator

Question

Has anybody managed to get the Android Emulator working behind a proxy which requires authentication?

I\'ve tried setting the -http-proxy argument to

Answer 1

I've not used the Android Emulator but I have set the $http_proxy environment variable for perl and wget and a few cygwin tools on windows. That might work for you for android, but the slash in the domain name seems like a potential problem. I know I tried having my domain "GLOBAL" in there, but ended up taking it out and sticking with: http://$USER:password@www-proxy.company.com:80

One problem I run into a lot though is programs that cannot be told to use the proxy for DNS queries too. In cases where they don't I always get a host name not found. I'd like to find a local dns resolver that can use the proxy for all the programs that won't.
