Description

### Expected Behavior

In the HTTP Network Proxy I used to put something like:
"socks5://username:password@ipProxyServer:portProxyServer"

The last version of insomnia that this setting worked was the 7.1.1 with libcurl/7.57.0-DEV , OpenSSL/1.0.2o, zlib/1.2.11, libssh2/1.7.0_DEV

is it possible to restore this functionality?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the SOCKS5 proxy configuration on Windows with Insomnia 2022.6.0 and compare it with 7.1.1, then trace the HTTP Network Proxy setting. Done means the documented socks5 URL with credentials works again.
