Really simple, I can take the request and execute it from `cURL` on my local machine. Due to my work environment, I have to go through a proxy to make the request. With the proxy up `cURL` works, but `akka.http` fails. If I disable the proxy both methods fail when accessing the respective URL. Is there any known issues connecting to remote endpoints through a proxy using `akka.http`?

What is supported out of the box is HTTPS proxies for the client, but that requires specific setup of the client, did you see the docs around that? [Pluggable Client Transports / HTTP(S) proxy Support • Akka HTTP](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/current/client-side/client-transport.html#http-s-proxy)
