How to set a proxy on the ArcGISHTTPClient

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?

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?

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.

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