Proxy support?

Hey folks 👋
Driven by @dreik feature request, we’re now thinking of how to best add proxy support to Voiden.
As with most things, there are 10+ ways to do it, and everyone has their own biases.

So, before we just go ahead and build it the way an assignee would think it should work, I wanted to throw it out here:

• How would you expect proxy support to work in a local/offline API client?
• How you'd want to configure it, manage it per-request vs global, UI/UX stuff, or even stuff you’ve seen done wrong elsewhere.

All thoughts are much appreciated! 🫂😁

Hi,
As for start I'd prefer to be able to change whole app/project connection trough proxy.
Currently I'm using VSCode extensions:

• httpYac to write and send requests to API
• http-proxy-toggle

It works pretty well but the big thing I'm missing is to have few proxies setup. I.E. I'd like to test API directly from my PC, then from OfficeA proxy, then from OfficeB and so on... so ability to have multiswitch is the must from my point of view.
Ofc, I can setup some sort of local proxy (i.e. using Throne project) and instead of using office proxy - use office VPN which will be routed, etc... but it's too much to configure and to much buttons to press to test something...
