Man chrome:
	--proxy-server=host:port
              Specify the HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy server to use for requests.
              This overrides any environment variables or settings picked  via
              the  options  dialog.

	--proxy-pac-url=URL
              Specify  proxy autoconfiguration URL.  Overrides any environment
              variables or settings picked via the options dialog.

These do not work here:
	chrome --proxy-pac-url="http://gate:80"
	chrome --proxy-pac-url=http://gate:80
Not suprising, I suppose the URL should not contain '"' and perhaps
the URL should be some some auto config server hook I am not supplying.

Tom, This works here:
	chrome --proxy-server=gate:80

My env:
	8.0-RELEASE 
	amd64 
	chromium-6.0.472.63 from 
		FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/www/chromium
	printenv | grep -i proxy
		http_proxy=http://gate.js.berklix.net:80
		all_proxy=http://gate.js.berklix.net
My proxy env vars are not being imported properly,
& setting on command line is ugly, but no time for more now,
possibly a bug/feature in chrome ? I never tried chrome before.

Cheers,
Julian
