My apologies to the WebKit team (which also has outstanding assistance) for assuming it was a nightly build related issue. Overall I have been happy with WebKit both as a desktop browser and as its included in Adobe AIR!

Or if this is standard, I wonder what went horribly wrong..? Thank you for that link, now I have to figure out how an application installed for over 8 months all of a sudden modified something.

This allows it to see the contents of each request, around which most of its functionality is built. http://www.charlesproxy.com/wiki/mac_os_x_proxy_settings talks a little about how it does auto-configuration of proxy settings on Mac OS X. I can't find anywhere that it documents which ports it uses, but I did a quick test and verified that it points it at port 8888 which matches the screenshot in your post.

Only modification to my machine was a WebKit nightly build update and then the troubles began. Oddly enough though, other browsers worked properly. However, I do appreciate the information I will take a deeper look and update the entry as well. Mark - Yes, I run Charles all the time (Flash Developer) but never had such a problem.

WebKit itself doesn't interact with proxy servers in any manner, and it certainly does not configure new ones. The settings that you show look very similar to those used by the Charles Web Debugging Proxy: http://www.charlesproxy.com/. Had you run Charles, or a similar sort of application, recently?
