Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This is used by tooling such as the Kubernetes Python SDK. I can't connect using SOCKS5 proxy, but can using HTTP proxy. The latter isn't supported by my company.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support urllib3s SOCKS5 proxying support.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't see any.

Research direction

Start by tracing how generated Python clients configure HTTP proxies and dependencies, then compare that path with urllib3's SOCKS5 proxying support. Done means a generated Python client can use a SOCKS5 proxy without breaking existing HTTP proxy behavior, with coverage for the supported configuration path.
