Description

HI --

It would be really helpful for many people who are working behind full proxy, to have possibility inside GUI to use http_proxy or https_proxy (not the SSH Tunnel)

p.s
I know that I can work around through ssh session, but I can't use ssh either. All I can use for now is the pgadmin inside the docker configured to use https proxy as global.

Research direction

Start by tracing the GUI flow for creating a new server and how global proxy settings are loaded in the Docker deployment. Check how direct HTTP/S connections differ from the SSH Tunnel path; done means the GUI can use http_proxy or https_proxy for direct connections without SSH access.
