Add http proxy feature

[nitek29]

Hello,
I'm trying to deploy Akto behind a proxy.
I've configured http_proxy and https_proxy var env but it doesn't seem to work.
Is it possible to support http proxy natively?

Hi @nitek29

You should be able to access Akto behind a proxy. Can you please list here the exact steps that you did? And the error that you face?
