How to setup local proxy server to test Qt QNetworkAccessManager proxy settings?

[umen242]

Hello all
i like to add proxy support to my app that includes using QWebKit And Simple http request .
using methods i found "here ":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qq/32/qq32-webkit-protocols.html and "here":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Extending_QtWebKit .
the implementation looks easy , but my problem is how can i test it to see that proxy does work .
do i need to set up proxy server in my local pc ( i guess .. ) if so what server and configuration should i use ?

Did you have a look at [[Doc:QNetworkProxy]] already?

Yes, you obviously need a testing proxy server. Ask your sysadmin to install one for you if you feel you might mess it up.

Installing squid, for example, in a virtual machine is a good option too. It's not too hard to setup for testing purposes.
