Research direction

Start by tracing how ShopifyAPI configures and sends HTTP requests through HTTParty, then review how request options are currently passed. Done means callers can provide proxy settings without changing HTTParty's global configuration, with coverage for the supported proxy behavior.

Description

Overview

For security reasons, some applications are not allowed direct access to the internet, so a proxy server should be used, but ShopifyAPI does not allow passing proxy server options, despite HTTParty itself allowing it.

As an override global setting HTTParty::Basement.http_proxy('proxy.server', 8000, nil, nil) can be used, but it may break other usage of HTTParty where it uses for internal communication.
