Attempt To Pull EC2 Inventory Through Proxy Results In OpenSSL Error

Summary

When I attempt to pull an EC2 inventory through a corporate proxy in RHAAP I recieve the following SSL error.

No inventory was parsed, please check your configuration and options.

I'm attempting to populate an inventory in RHAAP using an execution environment built myself containing the amazon.aws collection. I am unable to replicate the AWS Inventory I made in RHAAP so I created a new inventory called someinventory.yml whose contents are below

`--- plugin: aws_ec2 aws_access_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX aws_secret_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx regions:

us-west-1 keyed_groups:
key: tags prefix: tag`

I try to pull an inventory using my custom execution environment and the above .yml file using the following command

ansible-navigator inventory -i someinventory.yml --execution-environment-image=localhost/something_aws

which results in the following output

` Warning

             Errors were encountered while gathering the inventory:

Steps to Reproduce

I believe this behavior will likely occur whenever trying to pull a list of EC2 instances through a proxy, but I am unable to prove it or create my own proxy at the moment.

ansible-collections / amazon.aws
