I doubt there is a way way to tell a popular browser to use a proxy
using the Location bar alone. Instead, you should _configure_ your
browser to use an HTTP proxy (located at the taxiprofessional.net:3128
address) and then request the desired URL (by typing that URL in the
browser Location bar, by clicking a link on another page, or requesting
it via Javascript -- all those accesses will go through the configured
proxy).

If you want to access a proxy from Javascript from inside a browser that
is _not_ configured to use a proxy, then I am not sure what the best way
to do that is, but others on the list may help you with that.


HTH,
