How to customize httpx client (for proxy support)?

[ItsCEED]

Under the hood it seems is running httpx (i might be wrong?)

How can we set a proxy on client creation?

Yes it is httpx. I think you can implement your own request class with anything what you want using RequestBase. And then pass your request instance to the constructor of the client. Like request=myReq

Modifying the class directly did the job.

class AsyncRequest(RequestBase):
    def __init__(self, proxy_url: str = None) -> None:
        super().__init__()
        # Configure the AsyncClient with or without a proxy
        self._client = httpx.AsyncClient(
            follow_redirects=True,
            proxies={"all://": proxy_url} if proxy_url else None
        )

Worked this way with no issues:

import asyncio
from atproto import AsyncClient
from atproto_client.request import AsyncRequest

async def flow():
    proxy_url = "http://user:pass@host:port"

    custom_request = AsyncRequest(proxy_url=proxy_url)

    client = AsyncClient(request=custom_request)

    is_logged = await client.login(login="your_username", password="your_password", session_string="session")
    print("Login Response:", is_logged)

    post = await client.send_post(text="Hello World!")
    print("Post Response:", post)


asyncio.run(flow())

Question is, is there more efficient way to do it?

[MarshalX]

hi, i think it is pretty efficient for now. no more efficient way yet
