Hey folks!

I’ve been trying to figure out golang how to use forward http proxy for a project, but I’m kinda stuck.

I need to route my HTTP requests through a proxy server, but the docs are a bit all over the place. Anyone got a *simple* example or best practice for this?

Like, do I just set the `HTTP_PROXY` env var and let the `http.Client` handle it? Or do I need to manually configure the transport?

Would love to see a working snippet if anyone’s got one.

Thanks in advance!

(Also, if you’ve faced weird issues with auth or timeouts, lmk how you fixed ‘em. Proxy stuff always seems to have *something* go wrong lol.)
