Proxy Support

[fizxmike]

I am launching my zedrem server on a computer at work which is behind a firewall+proxy. The proxy at my work allows https (port 443) pass-through. I am trying to connect using zed on my chromebook from home.

I am thinking about modifying

zedrem/client.go

Line 461 in cf2d96f

ws, err = websocket.DialConfig(config)

To include the automatic detection and utilization of a proxy server using pieces of the technique I found here (I would be querying environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy):

I'm assuming that as long as I return a valid websocket.Conn object, things will work as expected. Is this a reasonable assumption?

Are there other connections set up elsewhere in the code that also need to be modified to use a proxy?

General thoughts?

Yes, if a valid websocket.Conn is returned all should work as expected. This would be a very nice addition, by the way. I hope you can get it to work! The zedrem client (presumably, this is what you meant when you mentioned running it at work) only sets up a websocket connection, that's it.
