How to use this package behind a corporate proxy? about extwitter

[parroty]

Configuration for proxy server is not available at the moment, but it seems the http client which extwitter is using (erlang-oauth / httpc) has some options to specify proxy.

Maybe it can be exposed as config setting, though I need some investigations (and trial).

What kind of parameters you would expect? The config settings like the following make sense?

use Mix.Config

config :extwitter, :proxy, [
   server: "www-proxy.mycompany.com",
   port: 8000,
   user: "user",
   password: "password"
]

I just noticed that erlang-oauth is not exposing httpc options for user and password setting, though server and port can be separately configured.
It might need to update erlang-oauth for authentication part (will check some more).

I'm making a trial to implement the proxy setting. It would be great if you could try.

In config/config.exs,

use Mix.Config

config :extwitter, :proxy, [
   server: "www-proxy.mycompany.com",
   port: 8000,
   user: "user",
   password: "password"
]

and in mix.exs,

defp deps do
  [
    {:oauth, github: "parroty/erlang-oauth", branch: "proxy"},
    {:extwitter, github: "parroty/extwitter", branch: "proxy"}
  ]
end

I've merged to master and closing at the moment (with pending fork of erlang-oauth). If there's remaining issues, please reopen or open another one.
