1373552 - Run the web platform tests in Fennec test environment under proxy

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Testing, enhancement, P3)

Description

This is the second step of Bug 1314793 - Creating Testing Framework for Proxy Bypasses for Fennec.

- Stand up and run a permanent SOCKS proxy service in the fennec testing environment
- Install the VPN Service App (the one we create in bug 1373550) in the fennec testing environment
- Run the web platform tests (this may be difficult because we might not currently allow tests to hit the network) in Fennec in the test environment, under the proxy

If the VPNService App has logged any non-proxied traffic, figure out how to get that log out of the test environment and raise it as a test failure.

It would be neat if we could somehow correlate the traffic to a particular test, but this may be difficult. Hopefully the traffic will make it apparent what test is causing the failure. And ideally we’ll only cause one test to fail at a time, because as a bug pops up we’d fix it quickly!

We should also add a true-positive test so we can be certain that proxy bypasses are successfully being raised and exposed by the test framework.
