Since firmware version 2.1.8 the Archos 101 internet tablet supports HTTP proxy settings. The proxy settings can be configured under “Settings > Wireless & network > wifi proxy settings”.
To enable the HTTP proxy settings in a WebView one has to call WebView.enablePlatformNotifications() in the Activity’s onCreate() method:
public class YourActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
WebView.enablePlatformNotifications();
[...]
}
}

Nice article indeed. i have bookmarked it on couple of social networking sites too. keep posting the useful stuff as it ads valuable information to many of us.
Is there no app/addon/update for this?
