Selenium: Can I tunnel through an *External* HTTP/SOCKS proxy over Firefox?

Question

I know Selenium Server acts AS a proxy. But I want to know if I can instruct a test to connect through to either a SOCKS or plain http proxy, eg: Tuenneling through an external Proxy. (It's so hard to search for because the word proxy just shows how Selenium works, not if it supports this feature....)

or

In the MANual , you can find this.. -proxyInjectionMode: puts you into proxy injection mode, a mode where the selenium server acts as a proxy server for all content going to the test application. Under this mode, multiple domains can be visited, and the following additional flags are supported:

or set the settings mentioned above in the system variables..

Yenjoy!
