Dev Challenge: Add Proxy Support?

[Guest Arr Too]

Now that the 2.2 kernel sources are available, is it worth us spending some time looking to see if we can add proxy support to the Blade? And, ideally, not just in the browser. This would be a real boon to the large number of users who have a proxy forced on them by their work or school/uni.

There are some Android phones which have a bit of this as standard (Samsung Galaxy S?). And is there proper proxy support in Cyanogen?

I should say you're late :D

But not, so here you go, TransProxy:

It SHOULD work only on 2.2 (due to 2.1 kernels does not have enough NAT access or what, they simply can't access the NAT tables), I had no chance to test (although the script reports that everything went fine and nothing was catched on the debug net), as my school network (what has SquidCache HTTP proxy authentication) got damaged, will be replaced in the following weeks (one router works from the 6, and that one is unable to accept any incoming connection). But as I said, it SHOULD work.

Cor -- be great if this works (I'll be able to test on Monday, if not earlier). I knew that under 2.1 we had no viable solution, and we appear to have iptables (on JJ, at least), so this certainly now looks possible.
