Chromedriver with proxy

Question

We have a test software based on chromedriver. The test is a site check from one computer, but under different proxies. The proxy is connected via a JavaScript script. About a month ago, I had to edit the manifest settings for the script, because the version of ManiWest changed.

Since yesterday, the Chrome script has stopped working. Chrome shows a dialog for entering a login and password, there is an unusual message "Your connection is not secure".

Script template:

var config = {
    mode: "fixed_servers",
    rules: {
        singleProxy: {
            scheme: "http",
            host: "%proxy_host",
            port: parseInt(%proxy_port)
        },
        bypassList: ["foobar.com"]
    }
};
    
chrome.proxy.settings.set({value: config, scope: "regular"}, function() {});
    
function callbackFn(details) {
    return {
        authCredentials: {
            username: "%username",
            password: "%password"
        }
    };
}
    
chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener(
    callbackFn,
    {urls: ["<all_urls>"]},
    ['blocking'] );

manifest.json:

{
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "Chrome Proxy",
    "permissions": [
        "proxy",
        "tabs",
        "unlimitedStorage",
        "storage",
        "<all_urls>",
        "webRequest",
        "webRequestBlocking",
        "webRequestAuthProvider"
    ],
    "host_permissions": [
        "<all_urls>"
    ],
    "background": {
        "service_worker": "proxy.js"
    },
    "minimum_chrome_version":"22.0.0" 
}

However, if we manually enter your login and password, the proxies work. Perhaps the proxy certificates are no longer valid. Perhaps you need to work via http without ssl. Is it possible to configure the manifest so that it works with http?

Try starting Chrome with the --ignore-certificate-errors flag. So when building your driver, add:

.setChromeOptions(options.addArguments('--ignore-certificate-errors'))

(where options is an instance of Chrome.Options())
