add option to use Requests http(s) proxy

frennkie · frennkie · commit 2f129c26fc1a · 2015-11-07T21:56:37.000+01:00
The influxdb-python client does not have support for a web proxy although the Requests library provides the possibility to use a web proxy for both http and https requests. This PR (optionally) adds the feature to use a http(s) proxy by adding an additional parameter to InfluxDBClient initialization called´"proxies". This parameter expects that a dict is provided. If this is not set it will default to { }. The syntax for the dict is the same as specified in Requests docs: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#proxies proxies = { "http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128", "https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080", }
