How to set a proxy on the ArcGISHTTPClient

Question

I want all ArcGIS Kotlin SDK traffic to go through a proxy. I would expect to set this through the HTTP client, but the ArcGISHTTPClient doesn't expose any such methods.

I had a look at the network request interception support: https://developers.arcgis.com/kotlin/api-reference/arcgis-maps-kotlin/com.arcgismaps.httpcore/-interceptor/index.html

But this only lets me change the request URL, headers and parameters.

How would I use a proxy in this case?

I appreciate the feedback. We will look into supporting  this in an upcoming release.

Our application is controlled by MDM to prohibit internet traffic. It connects through VPN to a network which doesn't allow internet access. We have been asked to specifically configure the ArcGIS traffic to go through a proxy so this traffic can be controlled.

We've done this before with Okhttp3, where you can set a proxy on the Builder, and I note that ArcGIS Kotlin SDK uses this under the hood. It would be useful if this configuration option was exposed in the ArcGISHttpClientBuilder.

Hello,

As of 200.8.0 we do not support configuring a proxy with ArcGISHttpClient.

Could you share more information on what workflows you'd like to support?
