Headless chrome does not use system proxy. Regular Chrome does.

Reported by christop...@gmail.com, Nov 14 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.89 Safari/537.36

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Be behind a corporate proxy
2. Have Chrome configured to detect system proxy settings (this is the default on a Windows 7 install)
3. Try opening a page in regular Chrome
4. Try fetching a page with headless chrome

What is the expected behavior?
In regular Chrome, the page opens fine, indicating that the request has passed through the proxy as expected.

In headless chrome, all requests simply time out.

What went wrong?
I don't know, but it seems that, when in headless mode, Chrome does not detect (and/or use) system proxy settings in the same way as when it runs in regular mode.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.89  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

In regular Chrome, proxies are handled through the preferences system, which headless does not support, so headless has it's own much simpler code path for proxies. Marking this as a feature request.
