Description

Discussed in https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/discussions/13819

Originally posted by paussita22 October 28, 2024 Hi, I'm trying to run GeoEdge proxy on a test that is using webdriverio and is running remotely in Selenium Grid but I'm not able to get it working, I try to pass the values in the capabilities of the browser but didn't work, wonder if you have some idea of what I'm missing?

 proxy: {
    proxyType: 'manual',
    httpProxy: 'ip:port',
    socksUsername: 'username',
   socksPassword: 'pass',
    sslProxy: 'ip:port',
  },
```</div>

Research direction
Investigate how proxy settings are passed to the browser in WebDriverIO's WebDriver protocol implementation. Check the recent changes related to native fetch support (see linked discussion #13819). Look at the WebDriverIO source code for handling proxy capabilities and ensure they are forwarded correctly when using native fetch.
