Description

This may already be possible, but I finding it in the docs - is there support to pass the "proxies" keyword through pyvo to requests, in order to use e.g. SOCKS proxies to access servers behind firewalls etc.?

(use case - I want to test services running on development TAP servers, which can most easily be access through an SSH tunnel/SOCKS5 proxy - this functionality is built into requests, so I think it's just passing the relevant parameter through pyvo)

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating pyvo's request or session entry points and how they call requests; verify the expected behavior against a SOCKS5 proxy and a TAP server, with completion meaning proxy settings can be passed through to requests.
