Support Proxy environment

[prangenberg]

It would be great if proxy settings could be provided to the appender.

e.g. an complete Proxy object which would be used in the openConnection method

Not needed, you can setup the proxy connection details with something like this:

        Properties systemProperties = System.getProperties();
        systemProperties.setProperty("http.proxyHost",proxy);
        systemProperties.setProperty("http.proxyPort",port);
        systemProperties.setProperty("https.proxyHost",proxy);
        systemProperties.setProperty("https.proxyPort",port);
        System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", user);
        System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", password);
        Authenticator.setDefault(
                new Authenticator() {
                    @Override
                    public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                        return new PasswordAuthentication(
                                user, password.toCharArray());
                    }
                }
        );
