How to make applications on the Blackberry emulator connect to the Internet when the computer is behind a proxy server

Question

My computer is configured behind a proxy server to access the Internet. I referenced posts related to the Blackberry simulator and changed the MDS server setup as follows

application.handler.http.proxyEnabled = true application.handler.http.proxyHost=hostname application.handler.http.proxyPort=hostport application.handler.http.proxyUser=username application.handler.http.proxyPass=password 

After that, when MDS starts using the simulator, I can use the browser. But when I click on the browser, it asks for the username, password and domain name. After that, the Internet works fine

Here is the problem. For the same settings, when I click the "Maps" application on a blackberry, it does not work. Please let me know what needs to be changed.

Not all applications will use the MDS transport for communication - for example, if the application uses Direct TCP or Wi-Fi, it will bypass your MDS server and go directly through the TCP / IP stack of the computer (when working in the simulator), Unfortunately, in this case the simulator does not use proxy level settings at the system level (i.e. proxy server settings installed in IE), so it will not know about your proxy server and probably will not work.

I mentioned this lack of RIM, and I hope that they will address it in future emulators. This makes it easier to debug tools like Charles or Fiddler.
