Chrome extension TCP socket connection through a proxy

Question

I was hoping google chrome socket connections from a chrome extension would go through the proxy settings of the browser but it does not seem to be the case.

Any idea of how could I automagically connect to a server and let chrome bothering with the proxy ?

Answer 1

Currently you can't, but we expect that this will be possible using a network proxy API when the bug http://crbug.com/172285 gets implemented.

If you want, star the issue to follow the development.
