Can I set a http proxy for cached_network_image in my app?

[jaggerwang]

As I know, cached_network_image use http package in the lower ground, but I can not found how to set proxy for http. Is this feature supported?

[renefloor]

Not yet, will be supported in a future version.

[jaggerwang]

Got it. Waiting for this feature, because my app very need this.

[renefloor]

Do you still need this?

[jaggerwang]

Not anymore. Thanks!

Hey there, I'm actually searching for a solution to this issue, my app does need to access Internet through a proxy.

Do you want me to open a new issue?

[renefloor]

@codeknox you can manipulate the http client of the cache manager. You can see how it is done for firebase here: https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter_cache_manager/tree/develop/flutter_cache_manager_firebase/lib/src

@jaggerwang @codeknox Has anyone solved this? Not sure how to implement the answer @renefloor is suggesting. Thanks.

[mikezander]

@renefloor is this something you'd consider adding support for?

@mikezander I recommend using a global setting for proxy configuration.

I don't know if you considered it, but you can override the default behaviour of any http client with

    // in your main
    HttpOverrides.global = YourProxyHttpOverrides();

class YourProxyHttpOverrides extends HttpOverrides {
  @override
  HttpClient createHttpClient(SecurityContext? context) {
    final client = super.createHttpClient(context);
    final yourProxyIp = '...';
    final yourProxyPort = '...';
    client.findProxy = (uri) => 'PROXY $yourProxyIp:$yourProxyPort;';
    return client;
  }
}
