Support for http proxies

[roleymoley]

We have been using this plugin for a while but recently encountered a scenario where we would need to route via a corporate http proxy. Testing shows that it doesn't take the proxy settings from /etc/environment and i cannot see a place to set these values in this plugin.

Is there plans to support http proxies in this plugin? Alternatively am i missing something silly?

This plugin uses httpclient and it uses http_proxy or HTTP_PROXY envvar to use proxy.

it doesn't take the proxy settings from /etc/environment and i cannot see a place to set these values in this plugin.

Could you check above envvar is passed to fluentd?
