The SafariDriver should support proxies

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 5051

The SafariDriver currently does not support proxies.  It should.

The proxy configuration in DesiredCapabilities should be applied by the client language
bindings before launching Safari.

any update to this issue,  this is really causing us not to use a proxy wiht safari
webdriver.  All other webdrivers support the concept of proxy.

I'm behind a NTLM proxy which required a username and password. The first time I ran
my script with SafariDriver, I had to validate the username and password and choose
'remember credentials' ; now the script runs without entering any credential.

The issue here is not able to use a proxy if it is preconfigured and always enabled,
but rather be able to send a proxy setting to use as part of safari webdriver capabilities
for the browser to get configured and used.  we can use a proxy but configuring the
proxy settings via capabilities and that being used by the safari webdriver is not
implemented yet it seems.

adding our vote, this is blocking us from using Jscover which we use in proxy mode to
get code coverage

It's been two years since this issue has been reported. Any workaround or reason why
there was no progress ?

The SafariDriver does not have an active maintainer, so no, this is not likely to be
fixed any time soon. Contributions/patches from the community are more than welcome
though (hence the GettingInvolved tag)
