Only the browser goes via the tunnel, google maps don't, even in global mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. My VPS is running a proxy on 127.0.0.1 port 8000, SSHTunnel running on port 
8118
2. Global mode is successfully enabled
3. SSHTunnel successfully started

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
From proxy logs, I see that only the browser goes thru the proxy, but other 
apps, e.g. Maps, Mail, don't.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Android 2.3.3

Please provide any additional information below.

Is there any special consideration/port number needed to be specified to 
redirect Google Maps to an http proxy?

I have a similar problem. Browser goes through proxy and so does Talk, but 
Market does not.

Exactly the same problem. The tricky part is that running a ProxyDroid global 
service at 127.0.0.1:1984 can solve the problem. I suspect that SSHTunnel 
cannot set iptable rules properly on certain ROMs but ProxyDroid can. I don't 
know what's the difference between the two in low-level global proxy settings. 
But I hope this will be helpful.

Client side:
Android 2.3.3 HTC Sense 3.0 rooted
SSHTunnel 1.51
ProxyDroid 2.04

Server box:
Ubuntu 11.04 
Squid 2.7

SSHTunnel uses more complicated rules to provide additional functions, like GFW 
list for China users. If you find those rules cannot work properly on your 
roms, maybe using other solutions is a better choice. (for example, use 
Connectbot with TransProxy/ProxyDroid/AutoProxy/AsProxy)

I'v made a big mistake Max. Your program does not have this problem at all. 
It's probably introduced by consistences of config files between different 
versions. I just removed SSHTunnel and made a clean installation. And the 
problem has gone. BTW, it's really an amazing program.
