I need to connect to vCenter server via authenticated proxy. But, I could not do so using SmartConnect.
I know, I need to send Proxy-Authorization header in the SmartConnect request but I couldn't find a way to do this.
I tried putting it in customHeaders attribute as given below:

Is authenticated proxy supported in pyvmomi? If not, can you please guide me how I can do this using pyvmomi?
