Proxied and non-proxied Feign client on the same jvm

[herrhilmi]

I'm using Feign & spring to build a core component, which is interacting with a variety of rest APIs. One of which is behind a proxy. So, the issue is that I can not setup the proxy using the system properties since it will be applied on JVM level and will affect other clients.

In order to resolve this, i've added this library "com.netflix.feign:feign-okhttp" to my project. Which resulted on a bad config and Spring's messages converters behaved wierdly. So, i guess the best solution's to provide another implementation of the Client interface that support proxy.

Have you tried using the Apache Http Client instead? You can also create your own Client and Create the Feign Client Manually the client manually.

This type of specialized use case is something that we typically would not add to the core library without more votes.
