Option to provide an HTTP proxy or custom OkHttpBuilder / factory

[ruXlab]

Hello Datadog team

Could you please provide an option to set HTTP proxy? Devices in our organisation can't access the Internet directly.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Our Android devices don't have direct access to the Internet, all applications must use HTTP proxy

Describe the solution you'd like
Please provide an option to supply a custom OkHttpClient or proxy configuration settings.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There are no alternatives

Hi @ruXlab,
Thanks for reporting this issue, we're going to look into this feature request.
In the meantime, is there a way to setup the Proxy on the device level, to apply this globally ?

Hello @xgouchet
Unfortunately, it won't be possible - each eligible app is aware of the proxy details but we can't set them system-wide.

Thanks

Are you open for external contributions on this? We are also looking at using a proxy for our project and could be willing develop and share this.

I ended up forking project locally and adding okHttpBuilder to Configuration.Core and DatadogConfig.CoreConfig, changing few relevant methods, namely setupOkHttpClient and adding setOkHttpBuilder method for Configuration.Builder.

Hi @trymnilsen , we added this topic in our backlog and we have a bunch of constraints, but thanks for offering to contribute. We'll try and have this done as soon as possible
