Description

When I set proxy settings in the widgetserver.properties file to use my corporate proxy, Wookie will not only use these settings for its internal ProxyClient, but also relay these settings to the client-side widgets, which then try to directly connect to my corporate proxy. Of course, due to cross-domain-access policies, this will fail and it also circumvents the Wookie proxy security.
