How to initiate a request using a socks5 proxy with authentication?

[ljh740]

ex: user:pwd@127.0.0.1:10086
type: socks5

Proxy.socksServer(host: "127.0.0.1", port: 10086)

Unable to set authentication information

Async HTTP Client doesn't currently support SOCKS5 authentication, because the upstream SOCKS support doesn't either. We'd need a fix upstream to add that support before we could add it here.

Any plans to update it in the near future?

I don't believe we have any plans to, but you'd be welcome to file an issue or tackle it yourself! We'd happily review any changes needed.
