Research direction

Start by tracing the existing HTTP proxy setup in the client and its transport configuration, then inspect how proxy behavior is tested. The work is complete when a proxy URL such as socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080 can be configured and used to connect to an InfluxDB server, with coverage for the new behavior.

Description

Proposal:
Socks proxy support

Current behavior:
The current proxy setup support http proxy, but not socks protocol

Desired behavior:
Ability to set proxy url like:
socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080

Ability to rely on http(s)_proxy / no_proxy env vars

Use case:
The host I use relies on socks proxy to join external networks, and then join influxdb server.
