title: Running AngularJS Protractor with proxy to https
body: <p>I get the following error in the command line when trying to run Protractor:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>>
    Fatal error: protractor exited with code: 1</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I need to proxy to an https test server. How do I accomplish this? I followed the advice from this <a href="https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/124" rel="noreferrer">Github issue</a>, but I am still getting the above error. Here is my config file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>// A reference configuration file.

     // ----- How to setup Selenium -----
     //
     // There are three ways to specify how to use Selenium. Specify one of the
     // following:
     //
     // 1. seleniumServerJar - to start Selenium Standalone locally.
     // 2. seleniumAddress - to connect to a Selenium server which is already
     //    running.
     // 3. sauceUser/sauceKey - to use remote Selenium servers via SauceLabs.
  
     // The location of the selenium standalone server .jar file.
     seleniumServerJar: './selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.35.0.jar',
     // The port to start the selenium server on, or null if the server should
     // find its own unused port.
     seleniumPort: null,
     // Chromedriver location is used to help the selenium standalone server
     // find chromedriver. This will be passed to the selenium jar as
     // the system property webdriver.chrome.driver. If null, selenium will
     // attempt to find chromedriver using PATH.
     chromeDriver: './selenium/chromedriver',
     // Additional command line options to pass to selenium. For example,
     // if you need to change the browser timeout, use
     // seleniumArgs: ['-browserTimeout=60'],
     seleniumArgs: [],
  
     // If sauceUser and sauceKey are specified, seleniumServerJar will be ignored.
     // The tests will be run remotely using SauceLabs.

     sauceKey: null,
