Could we have HTTP proxy capabilities as in the legacy Box SDK.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding the capability of HTTP proxy as available in the legacy Box SDK.

Found a workaround

        var networkSessionBuilder = new NetworkSession.NetworkSessionBuilder()
                .retryStrategy(new BoxRetryStrategy.BoxRetryStrategyBuilder().maxAttempts(3).build());
        // Configure HTTP proxy if both host and port are provided
        if (proxyHost != null && !proxyHost.trim().isEmpty() && proxyPort != null) {
            var proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(proxyHost, proxyPort));
            var httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
                .followSslRedirects(true)
                .followRedirects(false)
                .connectionSpecs(singletonList(MODERN_TLS))
                .proxy(proxy)
                .build();
            networkSessionBuilder.networkClient(new BoxNetworkClient(httpClient));
        }
   
       var networkSession = networkSessionBuilder.build()

        this.boxClient = new BoxClient.BoxClientBuilder(auth)
                .networkSession(networkSession)
                .build();

Still think this should be exposed as part of the SDK like in https://github.com/box/box-java-sdk/blob/main/doc/configuration.md#proxy-configuration

Hi @juniperslayhorn,
this task is on our roadmap. Glad you found that workaround with defining your own http client. I'll let you know once proxy feature will be available.
Best,
@lukaszsocha2

Sounds good, thank you @lukaszsocha2
