New SDK does NOT work behind the HTTP proxy

[comradum]

After implementation switched from request to axios SDK stops correctly working behind HTTP proxy.
SDK version which uses 'request' lib works correct.

Configuration like: HTTPS_PROXY is set to url with http protocol, like: HTTPS_PROXY=http://some.domain.com:8080

This can be related to axios/axios#6320 issue.

Also maybe this axios/axios#959 can help to fix it not changing axios to some another lib.

Hello @comradum thank you for raising this issue and suggesting a potential fix. We plan to leave Axios as the default http requestor as we plan to build on some of its built in features in the future, so we would prefer to find a fix in place as opposed to switching libraries.

It doesn't look like there is a way to get Axios to support environment proxy settings in node.js which is quite frustrating. I think something similar to your suggestion where we allow clients to pass a proxy configuration as part of the client creation that we can pass along to in our Axios client creation seems like the best option.

I will raise this with the internal team this week to discuss further.

Thank you for feedback, will appreciate any news about topic.

Hi,

any news/decisions?

[mattmeyerink]

The team is working on refactoring our internal HTTP http requestor at the moment. We plan to directly expose the the AxiosConfig as a part of the smartsheet client creation which should allow you to configure the proxy that way.

Hi,

any movement in the topic?

I see notification about some API deprecation in a half of year and this issue is kind of showstopper for our migration.

@mattmeyerink

We can't use your new API to switch due to this bug which is not present in old SDK versions, but obligated to do this in some short period of time because you plan to deprecate bunch of endpoints.

When we can anticipate it be implemented?
