HTTP/SOCKS support #208

Closed macruspareto closed 5 months ago

Hello author!

Thanks for making Yarr happen! I was searching around git for a small and simple RSS reader and found it. It serves its purpose flawlessly!

Could you add the support for HTTP/SOCKS proxy in future versions?

You have suggested setting the env variable HTTP_PROXY It seems to work on Linux but is being completely ignored on Windows (tried it multiple times).

I think adding proxy support should not be difficult. 20-30 lines of code maximum.

There's a Go library for that:

Many thanks!

PS: Or perhaps someone who knows Go could post a piece of code here and we compile it ourselves.

I do not plan to add proxy support in the UI. Please use the env variable support that Golang provides.

You can ask the setup guide for Windows in Github Discussions or elsewhere (StackOverflow, Reddit etc). Unfortunately I'm unable to help you with that as I don't use Windows.
