How to Easily Set HTTP_PROXY Using Selenium RemoteWebDriver

When automating browsers with Selenium, you might find yourself needing to route your requests through a proxy server. This is particularly common in environments where access to the internet is controlled or monitored. In this guide, we'll explore how you can set up an HTTP_PROXY using Selenium's RemoteWebDriver with minimal changes to your existing code.

Understanding the Problem

In a typical Selenium setup, the browser is launched without any proxy settings. If you want to use a proxy to connect through the remote web driver, you need to alter the DesiredCapabilities of your browser configuration. Below is the existing snippet of code where the browser is launched without a proxy setup:
