How do I setup my global http proxy

I have upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 6.


I keep reading about the global http proxy yet I can't find anywhere in the network settings to configure it.


Can someone point me in the right direction as I think it will be quite handy


Thanks

iPhone 4, iOS 6

liad, I was looking at your post and was wondering if you could provide further detail? I already have a base configuration profile created via iPCU. All I want to do is create another configuration profile for the Global HTTP Payload. I thought the easiest way to do this is to create a new configuration profile via iPCU with just the mandatory "General" payload; and then edit the .mobileconfig file via a text editor to add the Global HTTP Proxy payload.


In your instructions below you mention in step 1 to "create a profile and use specific keys for the proxy settings". How do I use specific keys for the proxy settings? Do I need to grab the PayloadUUID from another configuration profile that contains proxy settings e.g. the Wi-Fi payload?

Hi,


generally speaking, yes, you need a UUID.

I use a build in function in Mac OS X called uuidgen.


$ uuidgen

A7C3BD0C-1A5C-42EE-997F-5B946560F5F6


it always creates a new random uuid.


let me know if you need more information about the profile - i think i got it (mostly) figured out ;-)
