How to configure resty to use a SOCKS5 proxy for API requests?

yo, so i’ve been trying to figure out how to make resty use socks5 proxy for my API requests, and man, it’s been a bit of a headache. like, why isn’t this more straightforward??

i found some docs, but they’re kinda vague. i mean, resty is awesome, but c’mon, where’s the *easy* way to resty use socks5 proxy without jumping through hoops?

anyway, i managed to get it working by tweaking the client settings and using a custom transport. still feels a bit hacky tho. anyone got a cleaner way to resty use socks5 proxy?

pls share if u do, cuz i’m tired of googling and trial-error-ing my way through this. thx!

(also, sorry for typos, typing this on my phone lol)

yo, i feel your pain! resty use socks5 proxy can def be a bit of a hassle. i found this guide on GitHub that breaks it down step by step. it’s not perfect, but it helped me set up a custom transport without too much headache.

here’s the link: [GitHub Guide](https://example.com). hope it helps!

also, if you’re still stuck, maybe try using a tool like Postman to test your API calls first? it might save you some time debugging.

Hey! I had the same issue with resty use socks5 proxy. Honestly, the docs are kinda vague, but I managed to get it working by using a custom dialer. Here’s a snippet:

```go
dialer := proxy.FromEnvironment()
transport := &http.Transport{DialContext: dialer.DialContext}
client := resty.New().SetTransport(transport)
```

It’s not the cleanest, but it works. Let me know if you need more details!

bro, i feel you. resty use socks5 proxy is such a pain. i ended up using a library called `gost` to handle the proxy stuff. it’s not resty-specific, but it made my life way easier.

check it out: [gost GitHub](https://example.com). it’s a bit of a learning curve, but worth it imo.

Hey, I’ve been there too! For resty use socks5 proxy, I found that setting up a custom HTTP client with the proxy settings first, then passing it to resty, works pretty well.

Here’s a quick example:

```go
proxyURL, _ := url.Parse("socks5://proxyaddress:port")
transport := &http.Transport{Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxyURL)}
client := resty.New().SetTransport(transport)
```

Hope this helps!

yo, thanks for all the replies! i tried the custom dialer approach and it worked like a charm. still feels a bit hacky, but at least it’s working now.

i also checked out the gost library someone mentioned, and it looks promising. gonna give it a try for my next project.

thanks again, y’all saved me a ton of time!

ugh, resty use socks5 proxy is such a headache. i ended up switching to a different library for my API calls because i couldn’t get it to work smoothly.

if you’re open to alternatives, maybe check out `http.Client` with a custom transport? it’s not resty, but it gets the job done.

yo, i feel you. resty use socks5 proxy is def not straightforward. i found this blog post that explains how to set it up with a custom dialer. it’s a bit technical, but it worked for me.

here’s the link: [Blog Post](https://example.com). good luck!

Hey! I had the same issue with resty use socks5 proxy. I ended up using a combination of `golang.org/x/net/proxy` and a custom transport. It’s not perfect, but it works.

Here’s a quick example:

```go
dialer, _ := proxy.SOCKS5("tcp", "proxyaddress:port", nil, proxy.Direct)
transport := &http.Transport{DialContext: dialer.(proxy.ContextDialer).DialContext}
client := resty.New().SetTransport(transport)
```

Hope this helps!

man, resty use socks5 proxy is such a pain. i ended up using a different approach altogether. i set up a local proxy server that handles the socks5 stuff, and then pointed resty to that.

it’s a bit of a workaround, but it worked for me. maybe give it a try?
