Problem

The vector sink appears to automagically enable HTTP proxy support (with no way of turning it off).

This caused me some issues where I was trying to send data from a locked down network, where on one hand I had a series of targets leveraging the automatic HTTP support (through environment variables), whilst wanting to send to another Vector instance without the HTTP proxy (and down a VPN tunnel instead).

What do you mean by "automagically"? Vector does support the normal http(s)_proxy environment variables. If those are set, the values will be respected. Is that what you mean?
