I'm trying to figure out how to route my requests through an HTTP proxy.

I'm initializing webdriver like this:

user_agent = 'my user agent 1.0'
DesiredCapabilities.PHANTOMJS['phantomjs.page.settings.userAgent'] = user_agent
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()

I've gone through the docs and the source and can't seem to find a way to use a proxy server with phantomjs for through webdriver.

Any suggestions?

service_args = [
    '--proxy=127.0.0.1:9999',
    '--proxy-type=socks5',
    ]
browser = webdriver.PhantomJS('../path_to/phantomjs',service_args=service_args)
