Description
(Hi! Long time listener, first time caller. Great tool!)
For context: We monitor some of our customers' servers by installing a pushprox and a node exporter on their machine, and on our end we run a pushprox server (exposed to the internet through a reverse proxy) that can reach our internal prometheus server.
This is the use case: One of our customer's servers, in addition to not being exposed to the internet, is only able to get to the internet through a proxy, Squid I believe. Also, it is not a transparent proxy.
Is there a way for the pushprox client to explicitly specify an HTTP proxy for it to reach the outside world?

Research direction
Start by tracing how the PushProx client reaches the remote server and review its connection options in the repository. Compare that path with the customer's non-transparent Squid proxy requirement. Done means establishing whether explicit HTTP-proxy support is possible and, if so, adding and documenting a tested configuration.
