That is a good way to define proxy

Anybody working on this? I can take it

[adamw]

@omainegra go ahead :)

[adamw]

any luck with that issue maybe? :)

[omainegra]

@adamw Still working on this, sorry for the delay but I got hit by Irma and electricity and internet just came back.

[adamw]

@omainegra sorry to hear that, hope that you & your family is fine! no hurry with the code, just checking :)

[atais]

I would really like to see that working 👍

[adamw]

@omainegra hey, is everything fine? we didn't hear from you for a while

[adamw]

@omainegra I hope you are fine, for now I implemented proxy support as an option passed to the backend when creating it. Hope to hear from you in the future :)

[adamw]

Released in 0.0.17

How can I use it with Monix Backend?

Also wouldn't it be better to try to read default java proxy parameters by default?

[adamw]

For example:

implicit val backend = AsyncHttpClientMonixBackend(
  options = SttpBackendOptions.httpProxy("some.host", 8080))

sttp.get(uri"...").send()

Sure, reading the default java proxy parameters is an option - though I don't like this style of "global" configuration. Maybe you'd like to attempt making a PR? :)

[atais]

Maybe you'd like to attempt making a PR? :)

I sure will try 👍

Also, thanks for the example. I was using AsyncHttpClientMonixHandler back from 0.0.12 so that was why I could not find a proper option :-)
