feat: System proxy - unable even start to using cantata with system-wide proxy #135
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
My system has system-wide proxy settings everywhere: /etc/environment, fish config, KDE system settings, etc. I installed from AUR and started Cantata, but cannot get past the Connection screen: it failed because without connection it cannot proceed and it cannot connect (despite the fact that it detected mpd on another host correctly) due to use of proxy with the error
and the Next button is greyed out.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
According to this issue CDrummond/cantata#1323, there is a build flag that enables proxy in the cantata. So, since it's already there, I propose to make this option ON by default (why not?!) On linux it's possible to built it for it locally (and even ste up local patch though I failed with that task), but on Windows it's rarely used. I don't believe that it would any noticeable overhead either for building or for using Cantata, but add a convenient option as well as allowed to use it if the system-wide proxy is enabled.
I hope you add the flag in the next release so it would be possible to start this beautiful and very useful app to manage mpd.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Right now I manage to build the original (archived) Cantata and place the binary into ~/.local/bin, but this deprives me of a maintained version and also the icon in tray is absent.
I also tried to make a "patch" to add the flag for each update automatically, alas, despite several hours spent I found no reliable way to make this persistent and reliable (I'm using linux just for a couple years only, not an advanced user).
