How can i set proxy server with symfony/panther

Question

I found two way of setting proxy server one is through chrome web driver capabilities and the other one is directly setting while creating chrome client

$this->client = Client::createChromeClient(null, [
            '--proxy-server=socks://196.14.52.63:35048',
            '--headless',
            "--disable-gpu",
]);

but after setting proxy IP and port I get following error:

Curl error thrown for http POST to /session/cce06908d68a1e96bc6d1cb3b798aa14/url with params: {"url":"https:\/\/some-site\/login"}\n
Operation timed out after 30001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received

Basically I want to use proxy servers while scraping data using Symfony panther.

Answer 1

i made it work with passing following configuration.

$this->client = Client::createChromeClient(null, [
            '--window-size=1200,1100',
            "--proxy-server=http://ip:port",
            '--headless',
            "--disable-gpu",
]);

i think previously proxy server i was using doesn't support https (i was try to visit https page) and i was also missing windows-size argument.
