Add support for proxy

[kowoba]

Just a suggestion... add support for proxy server, either using global evironment ${https_proxy} (ENV:https_proxy) or through config setting (or both, setting overriding env var?). I'm currently doing a work-around by pointing my Amiga systems to a dedicated openai-proxy instance (with socat listening on 443) using an entry for api.openai.com in the hosts file, but it's a bit cumbersome, would be easier to just use the normal web proxy.

Cheers!

Welcome! Thanks for submitting your first AmigaGPT issue! Your issue will be looked at ASAP. <3

Sure. I think adding proxy servers to a connection in AmiSSL is pretty straightforward so I'll do this for you.

I'm curious though, why are you even using a proxy server for your Amiga traffic?

[kowoba]

Well, mostly because my Amiga systems are legacy IPv4-only and kinda "air-locked" on my otherwise IPv6-only home network with native IPv6 uplink :)

Btw - you may want to have a look at the "AmiGeminiProxy" in the AmiGemini archive (in the sources), it can do "unsecure" https proxying or "ssl offloading" or what to call it, so even 68000 systems for which there is no AmiSSL can still reach https on remote sites. Despite its name, it doesn't just do the Gemini protocol, it also does http, https and many more.

Cheers, and thanks for swift response!

haha I'll stick with IPv4 for my home network

@kowoba as a Christmas present I have added proxy support for you in 2.1.0. It supports both HTTP and HTTPS proxy servers and also supports proxy servers that require basic authentication. Tested it with mitmproxy running on my MacBook. Bear in mind it won't work with AmiGeminiProxy because that proxy server doesn't support the types of request I need to make to OpenAI. It doesn't allow POST requests for example. AmiGeminiProxy could be edited to support these which is something you could do if you want to use that proxy server for some reason.

Let me know how it goes
