You can configure an HTTP proxy in either of the following ways:

Method 1: Set the proxyUrl parameter in the .obsutilconfig file, for example, proxyUrl=http://username:password@your-proxy:8080.

Method 2: Use the system environment variable HTTPS_PROXY or HTTP_PROXY, for example, HTTPS_PROXY=http://username:password@your-proxy:8080.

NOTE:

HTTP proxy format: http://[Username:Password@]Proxy server address:Port number. The Username and Password are optional.
The proxyUrl parameter and system environment variables are in the following priority order: proxyUrl > HTTPS_PROXY > HTTP_PROXY.
The user name and password cannot contain colons (:) and at signs (@), which will result in parsing errors.
