TUF client requests TUF server through proxy

[thangld322]

Can TUF handle proxy?
If yes, where can I find a tutorial about handling proxy for TUF client, please?
Thank you!

Yes. PR #781 made sure that TUF had proxy support. This test tests use of tuf through various proxies. Basically, you just need to set your environment variables to include 'HTTP_PROXY' set to your proxy address (or include 'HTTPS_PROXY' if you're connecting to a middleman proxy via HTTPS).

Thank awwad
This version has not released right? So I gotta clone develop branch and install from that source?

First release with that feature: https://github.com/theupdateframework/tuf/releases/tag/v0.11.2.dev1
The most recent release also includes that feature: https://github.com/theupdateframework/tuf/releases/tag/v0.11.2.dev2

These are development releases due to the sacrifice of the slow retrieval attack protection. They are on PyPI (so you can pip install them if you indicate the specific version) and GitHub as releases.
