Explore SOCKS proxy setting possiblity /options #120

Can we enable socks or http proxy setting on our current webdav/http client?

The app uses iOS' standard interfaces for networking.

When using WiFi, you can configure a proxy and it should be honored. (Settings App -> WiFi -> (i) of your used WiFi -> Configure Proxy)

Besides that, every app that provides a network tunnel Network Extension can be used, too.

Everything else needs to be added to the app itself, as no other app will run in parallel more than a few minutes.

This will blow up the number of dependent libraries and, with most solutions, languages and build systems, cause an administrative burden and weakens the focus of the app.

Sounds like this is solved by the ability to use a proxy at the OS-level. If we find a user needing a per-app proxy, let's reopen/reconsider.
