WIP: Proxyauth fix
What does this MR do?
Allows GitLab users to declare usernames and passwords in the http_proxy
and https_proxy
connection string environment variables.
Without this merge request, users can set a connection string, but the username and password credentials are not passed through to the proxy request.
Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
Why was this MR needed?
GitLab advertises in its documentation that users can set proxy variables. However, when a user attempts to set a username/password, the credentials are not passed through to the library that handles the HTTP Proxy request. This fixes that error.
