Feature Proposal: Proxy

[o-nnerb]

Overview

We are thrilled to propose the integration of Proxy support for our upcoming release, RequestDL 3.0.3. This feature aims to enhance user experience by enabling the configuration of proxy servers for routing HTTP requests.

Feature Overview

Proxy integration will empower our users to specify proxy servers, facilitating HTTP request routing as per their requirements. Whether it's for anonymity, bypassing network restrictions, or optimizing resource access, Proxy support will be a valuable addition to RequestDL.

Feature Description

In RequestDL 3.0.3, Proxy support will be configurable through a declarative object during the construction of a Property request, as outlined below:

Model 1: Proxy without Authentication

DataTask {
    Proxy(host: String, port: Int)
}

Model 2: Proxy with Authentication

DataTask {
    Proxy(host: String, port: Int, authorization: Authorization)
}

Key Features

• Request Forwarding: Proxies will forward HTTP requests to the destination server using the CONNECT method.

• Optional Authentication Support: Users can provide authentication details for the proxy, ensuring secure access.

Security Considerations

To prioritize communication security, the Proxy feature will handle authentication securely, preventing credential leaks and ensuring data integrity.

Conclusion

The integration of Proxy support in RequestDL 3.0.3 will offer users greater control over their HTTP requests, enhancing flexibility and security in their interactions with external servers.
