I do wish Cucumber has its own Google group, but no such luck (or at  
least it’s not linked to from GitHub), so I’ll post here.

I’ve followed the instructions for setting up on  
[http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/setting-up-selenium](http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/setting-up-selenium).

I get responses that look like it’s about to work, Firefox starts,  
Selenium takes controls and then… it all falls apart. Like this;-

==\> Waiting for Selenium RC server on port 4444… Ready!  
==\> Waiting for rails application server on port 3001… Ready!  
12:55:48.301 WARN - you appear to be changing domains from  
[http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001) to [http://www.example.com/customer\_login](http://www.example.com/customer_login)  
this may lead to a ‘Permission denied’ from the browser (unless it is  
running as \*iehta or \*chrome,  
or alternatively the selenium server is running in proxy injection mode)

Where is the hidden configuration setting that allows me to issue  
requests to localhost:3001 when I’m using Cucumber with Webrat with  
Selenium?

Thanks

John,  
Cucumber gets a lot of posts on the rspec group. You can link to  
it here:  
[http://groups.google.com/group/rspec?hl=en](http://groups.google.com/group/rspec?hl=en)

```
  It's a pretty active group with some smart people. Good luck on

```

your BDD.
