Question

Running a Selenium 2 RemoteWebDriver server using java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.15.0.jar.

I always get the error:

HTTP ERROR: 403
Forbidden for Proxy
RequestURI=/session

when connecting to it using the python WebDriver client:

import selenium.webdriver as webdriver
webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4444', {})

or any other various RemoteWebDriver client I could find.

Answer 1

The solution was simple: Use the pathname /wd/hub

i.e.

import selenium.webdriver as webdriver
webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4444/wd/hub', {})
