Support HTTP Proxies

[davidiw]

Many thanks for your endeavors. We have actually included ureq into our trusted computing base of Libra. I would prefer we standardize its usage across our code base, but there are concerns that it does not currently support HTTP Proxies. Is this something you could consider? And if not, worst-case scenario, accept a 3rd party contribution?

Hi @davidiw! Thank you and exciting to see it used. Regarding new features, I'll reiterate what I said in #37

I'm going to clarify the future of ureq by updating the README soon. But in a nutshell.

I'll keep maintaining ureq as is cause there seems to be interest in a blocking simple http client. With maintaining I mean keep dependencies somewhat fresh and address any bad bugs. I will however not personally implement new features in ureq, but I do welcome PR with open arms.

The code base is extremely simple, one might even call naive. It's a good project to hack on as first learning experience in Rust. I will uphold some base line of code hygiene, but won't block a PR due to something being a bit inelegant.

Should we close this with #42?

@rustysec yeah lets. there are obviously more proxy types out there, but they can be separate issues/PR as the need arises.

Go for it 😁
