I’ve installed Google Chrome web browser 2 days ago on my PC at work.
My PC run Windows XP Pro, and I’m behind corporate Proxy.
Everything went smooth, except when I tried to access Gmail… blank page.
The problem seems to be that Chrome is not able to deal with https trough a proxy…. BigG… that sucks 
I try with several other https webpage and I have the same result: Blank Page!
I mean, it’s one of the best browser for PC (webkit rulez bytheway) but, really so hard SSL behind Proxy… why????
If you experienced something similar, please add a comment!

Same problem, but even worse. Almost every page has issues. Even google.com! I felt funny sending a bug report for google.com using google chrome. Only half the google image would show up.

Yes. same here. I lost some of the trust on google chrome. It drive me to start trying to test IE8 beta. Google Chrome is fresh, beautiful but amature.

Same thing here too, cannot access gmail/Reader/iGoogle..any such sites sitting behind a proxy.

That solution is about to install the browser, the installation gone well, but the problem here is access HTTPS pages behind a proxy…

Same problem. My corporate intranet sites seem fine, but many external sites are not working. When I’m home with the same computer and not behind a proxy things seem fine.

Same problem here, no https access inside of the firewall. This is strange b/c I can access the same sites in IE7 and FF 3

Having same problem. Weirdest thing is that if you download a “Portable” version of Chrome, it works like a charm…

No idea why this one would work and not the original Chrome…

I posted a workaround on the google groups that works if you are using a Microsoft ISA server as your proxy:

Thank you Paul!
I don’t know if our Proxy is based on ISA, I’ll try it monday!
September 8, 2008 at 6:21 am |
Paul, I have no Admin rights on the machine, so I can’t test your workaround.
I hope google fix it soon.
September 8, 2008 at 10:56 am |
Same here! I can’t access all https!
September 8, 2008 at 3:48 pm |
Google is aware of the SSL and proxey issue, and are working on a solution to fix it for the next beta release. Keep your cool and just wait as it will get better, and a whole lot faster then anything Microsoft ever does.

Thank you Marc! This version “http://stadt-bremerhaven.de/2008/09/03/portable-chrome-021510/”
Works!!!
It’s a new version…we hope google will release it soon with normal version…thanks!! HTTPS works fine with this!

This has been fixed in the current build:

So I guess we’ll defiantly see it in the next official release.

Same problem with ie. google calendar via http. When I changed the http to https (https://www.google.com/calendar/render) it worked perfectly, tho!

[...] Google Chrome, https behind proxy [...]

I’m experiencing the same problem here. I’m also behind corporate proxy. In fact, no web pages ever loaded properly. Images are all cropped, even in http://www.google.com, where there’s only ONE google image

. Installing portable google chrome (as suggested in one of the reply here) didn’t solve the problem.

On my laptop, I use FoxyProxy set with an SSH server I have offsite, so I tunnel through my localhost through the SSH link created to have a secure browsing experience.
So, in brief, I can’t access web pages through a http proxy on Chrome.

Same thing happen to me. The worse one that I don’t like is use Internet setting for proxy. We can’t use different proxy while I usually using alternative browser is to browse with different connection. I use squid for my localhost, and use other browser to bypass my Squid. Unfortunately, Chrome can’t do that.
