Allow use of proxy settings?

[poshaughnessy]

Hi Rich. I'm following the Sapper Getting Started Guide and running: degit sveltejs/sapper-template my-app.

But I'm here on the office network behind a proxy - and the command hangs and eventually says "could not download".

I have my proxy settings set OK in my environment variables (http_proxy, https_proxy). I've checked that in the same terminal, I'm able to download the same URL OK using wget.

Would you be OK with adding the ability to deal with proxies?

I've previously done this using something like this:

import httpsProxyAgent from 'https-proxy-agent';

const httpsProxy = process.env.https_proxy;
let fetchOptions = null;

if (httpsProxy) {
    // Log: 'Using proxy server': httpsProxy
    fetchOptions = {agent: new httpsProxyAgent(httpsProxy)};
}

fetch(fooBarURL, fetchOptions)

If you'd be happy with the same approach - using https-proxy-agent? - I could write a PR if you like?

Yes please, a PR would be great! Thank you

Long overdue, but I've finally merged #27 and released 2.3.0. Thanks!

Cool, cheers Rich! @YogliB sorry I missed your comment on the PR from ages ago!

When will 2.3.0 be released? Don't tell me it is 2022.
