Hi,
I am new to Selenium and trying to start an instance of webdriver with a proxy.

I did a bit of searching and found that its best to set the system proxy and let the selenium browser detect the proxy on its own.

While starting the instance of the Webdriver I encountered an error

The value of the property 'proxyaddress' cannot be parsed. The error is: Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid.

on this line

C#

FirefoxDriver webDriver = new FirefoxDriver();

This error is consistent with all browsers (IE,Chrome,Phantomjs,etc)

Please advice,

Thanks

I don't know anything about Selenium but that error seems pretty clear, doesn't it?

yup the error is clear, but when I tried initializing an instance of URI class(which i presume is giving the error), object is created without any exceptions. This Selenium implementation in C# is the one with the bug (I suppose) and I would like to know a work around for the same :)

guys please help
