How connect to proxy in electron webview-dynamically

问题

I am creating simple web browser using Electron. My use case is I need to route each URL via different/respective proxy-IPs. If the user type google.com it has to route via 123.123.122.1:8081 and if he type gmail.com it has to route via 111.111.111.123:8080 [Proxy/Port].I saw this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37393248/how-connect-to-proxy-in-electron-webview?rq=1 but it will not change proxy dynamically. Is it possible to do it in electron.

There are two ways to solve this problem. Either you can use proxy.pac method or session/proxy rules to change the proxy

persist session method :

var proxyIp ='12.12.133.12’
var port =‘8080’

<webview id="wv1" src="https://github.com" partition="persist:webviewsession"></webview>

if(proxyIp.trim() =='noproxy'){
    var my_proxy = 'direct://';
    session.fromPartition('persist:webviewsession').setProxy({proxyRules:my_proxy}, function (){
        console.log('using the proxy  '  + proxyIp);
    });

}else{
    var my_proxy = "http://"+proxyIp+":"+port;
    session.fromPartition('persist:webviewsession').setProxy({proxyRules:my_proxy}, function (){
        console.log('using the proxy  '  + proxyIp);
    });
}

proxy.pac method

proxy.js

const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron');
const {session} = require('electron')
let mainWindow;
app.on('window-all-closed', function() {
  app.quit();
});

  app.on('ready', function() {
  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width: 1024, height: 768 });
  session.defaultSession.allowNTLMCredentialsForDomains('*')//to access internal sites

var myVar = setInterval(myTimer, 3000);
function myTimer() {
   mainWindow.webContents.session.setProxy({pacScript:'file://' + __dirname + '/proxy.pac'}, function () {return true;});
}

mainWindow.webContents.session.setProxy({pacScript:'file://' + __dirname + '/proxy.pac'}, function () {mainWindow.loadURL('file://' + __dirname + '/browser.html');});
  mainWindow.openDevTools();
});

proxy.pac

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {

   if (shExpMatch(url, "*google*"))
         return "PROXY 164.83.99.74:80";

   if (shExpMatch(url, "*amazon*"))
         return "PROXY 194.73.29.74:8080";

   return "DIRECT";

}

Proxy.pac file can be in some S3 location or in some other remote server or local so even if you change remote proxy.pac file that will reflect in electron tool.Issue with proxy.pac method is when ever you are changing proxy IP in proxy.pac u need to reload proxy.pac file in electron that's why i am reloading every 3 sec in above code.

Both will work fine and I tested both myself. You can use any based on your usecase.
