Description
Proposal:
Socks proxy support
Current behavior:
The current proxy setup support http proxy, but not socks protocol
Desired behavior:
Ability to set proxy url like:
socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080
Alternatives considered:
Ability to rely on http(s)_proxy / no_proxy env vars
Use case:
The host I use relies on socks proxy to join external networks, and then join influxdb server.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing HTTP proxy setup in the client and its transport configuration, then inspect how proxy behavior is tested. The work is complete when a proxy URL such as socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080 can be configured and used to connect to an InfluxDB server, with coverage for the new behavior.
