[TCP] TCP Client should support working with a proxy #1124

Open IMS94 opened 3 years ago

IMS94 commented 3 years ago

Description: Right now, the TCP client doesn't allow us to specify a proxy host (SOCKS proxy). This needs to be implemented.

We can use the netty Socks(4/5)ProxyHandler to achieve this. A prototype code is available at: https://github.com/IMS94/module-ballerina-tcp. Will try to finalize the implementation in a proper manner and send a PR.
