Proxy and Self-Signed Certs / CA Pathing

[lostpolaris]

Hey ya'll,

Was just wondering if we can pass in proxies to this library using Environment Variables and also, if we're behind a corporate proxies that does SSL/TLS inspection, how do we pass in trusted certs to the library?

HTTPX / Requests usually allow for a path to be sent instead of a boolean as part of ssl_verify, but I don't see it in the documentation for the library.

Thanks!

Hi @lostpolaris -

The dictionary will probably be treated as a string when you provide it to the proxy keyword, so you might need to run it through json.loads. I was able to make this work using os.getenv doing so. (Detecting an incoming string for this keyword feels like an excellent enhancement, I will create an issue for this.)

You are able to provide a filename for the ssl_verify keyword and it should be handed to requests when you make the API call. Thank you for pointing out the documentation gap, I'll get a ticket created for this as well. 😄
