Hey @zong-zhe! I would like to try this one. Can you help me get started?

Hi @zong-zhe,

I would like to work on adding proxy support to our downloader module to enhance the download process of third-party dependencies, especially in environments that require proxy configurations. My approach involves introducing a ProxyURL option in our download settings and updating the relevant code to utilize this proxy setting throughout the download process.

By adding a ProxyURL field to our configuration structs and modifying the download methods to use custom HTTP clients with proxy settings, we can ensure that both Git and OCI downloads operate smoothly behind a proxy.

May I work on this issue to implement the proxy support as described?

Hi @inosmeet @ravjot07 😄

Welcome !

This job is in the very early stage of solving the problem of slow download speed caused by KCL being limited by network problems. You may need to learn more about project content and some proxy-related things first, refer to some existing programming language package management tools on the market, and minimize the problem of the task that needs to be done. Could you try provide a paperwork solution first ? 😄

Hi @ravjot07 😄

Thanks very much for your contribution, but we can move forward with this part of the work as planned. You don't have to rush with the code. First, we complete some necessary preparations through the paperwork solution. I will now close this PR: #547. You can add some paperwork solution PRs to this directory: https://github.com/kcl-lang/kpm/tree/main/research/design-doc.
