How to proxy request and response?

[debugtalk]

Hi,

Sometimes I want to capture the request and response traffic details, in which case I need to set proxy and use Charles. In net/http, we can set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable to achieve this goal, however this does not work in httpexpect.

Is there any way we can proxy httpexpect's traffic?

Thanks.

Hi, sorry for late reply.

You can provide a custom http client using Config.Client field. When constructing a client, I guess you can set Client.Transport.Proxy to a desired proxy.

Also, if you set Config.Client to a http.Client with DefaultTransport, I think it should also respect HTTP_PROXY variable.

I didn't test it though. It would be nice to add a test and an example for using proxy with httpexpect. I'll assign help wanted tag to this issue, so someone may add them.
