support https_proxy

[amwais]

Hi!

Is there a way to connect k9s via https proxy?

The cluster i need k9s to connect to is behind a proxy, therefore I use "https_proxy= kubectl"

I'd really like to use k9s with it.

Many thanks!

Hi @derailed, is there already a plan when proxy connection is going to be supported?
Thanks

Need this feature too. Would save me lot of time.

It's working with the correct env var:
export HTTPS_PROXY=
and if it is an SSL intercepting proxy, you have to use the insecure param:
k9s --insecure-skip-tls-verify

Fwiw, in general, most unix users expect the lowercase format. It's true that these variables don't match the rest of unix, but, that's history. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/212894/whats-the-right-format-for-the-http-proxy-environment-variable-caps-or-no-ca

I created #825 for general proxy support. As I explained in that issue https_proxy (or HTTPS_PROXY) isn't a great solution because the proxy used often differs between cluster contexts, and this makes it impossible to switch contexts inside k9s without restarting it with a different environment.

BTW, the uppercase HTTPS_PROXY doesn't work for me either, on 0.21.4. Edit: nope, it did finally work after a couple of restarts.

Simply running k9s with https_proxy=<proxy address> should work. Example: "https_proxy=<proxy address> k9s"
