In enterprise companies, proxies might be neeed to talk to foreign websites.
This pull request adds proxy settings in the current library. Furthermore it allows user + password protected proxies.

Hi @jesperfj, Do you have any plans to merge this soon? I urgently need this feature.

[jesperfj]

I always completely ignore PRs with no or insufficient description.

@jesperfj how can I contact you? I saw 1 PR like mine and you reflected out because there haven't been any test.
But testing proxies is not easy, as I don't know which proxy you want to use in your automated tests.

At least just a description would be nice

I've updated the description and hope that makes the intention of this PR clearer.
If you need also a bug/feature request ticket, I will open it as well.

I tried to get my test setup working but it's simply become too hard and cumbersome to maintain even the most basic working tests. Mostly because I stopped using Salesforce a long time ago myself so I am not keeping up with changes.

I am afraid this repo will no longer get even simple upgrades unless someone can help come up with a way of running the test suite against a reasonably stable test org setup.

Thank you for your efforts for this great library.
Of course I can understand your reasons.
If it is only the missing Salesforce account, you could create a free developer edition account, which is valid for 180 days after last login. That allows to run tests.
A real test with proxy settings is a bit more difficult. I've used a simple-proxy to pass requests on my machine through it.
