Description

Describe the bug
When setting a proxy, it fails if it can't verify or find the SSL cert on the proxy. The proxy URL I'm using is just plain http so it shouldn't attempt to do anything with certs.

To Reproduce
Set proxy via config

[proxy]
url = "http://user:pass@example.com:22225"

Expected behavior
It should make the request successfully

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the supplied [proxy] configuration and trace the proxy handling that runs for an http proxy URL. Check why SSL certificate verification is attempted, then verify that the request succeeds with the example configuration without requiring a proxy certificate.
