This adds support for use the system proxy configuration (by asking the embedded Chrome to resolve the proxy configuration). The idea to ask Chrome was from the electron-proxy-agent package; however, it had significant issues on supporting system CA certificates, and the result ended up being a complete rewrite.
We need the wrapper classes for
HttpsProxyAgent
andSocksProxyAgent
so that we can pass the CA options down to the eventualtls.connect()
call. This is due to TooTallNate/proxy-agents#89.I originally wanted to copy the code from electron-proxy-agent (leaving it as MIT licensed with the attribution), but it ended up easier to rewrite the whole thing.
This obsoletes #417, and is meant as part of #384. Note that this still doesn't change what we do for the VM (so it does not completely fix #384).
