[Feature Request] Proxies mocking support

Is there a way to mock a proxied request?

Something in the false line of:

@mock_proxies("proxy_server_ip:port")
def test_my_responses_tester():
    pass

Could you provide a basic example on how to achieve this?

@LucaCappelletti94 @thehappydinoa can you please provide a minimal reproducible of desired behaviour?

don’t think example provided by @asfaltboy will work. Proxied request is not just a change of the URL destination. when we set a proxy, then HTTPConnection is established to the required proxy server, while destination of the URL (eg http://example.com) is preserved.

That basically means, that proxy is served on the lower level compared to requests.adapters and from user perspective it looks identical if request is sent with/without proxy. Let’s assume your proxy server changes content of the response (eg filters data), then you can just add responses.Response with required content. Next, you need to ensure, that actually proxy was applied, then you can just use matchers.request_kwargs_matcher and check that proxies were supplied

I would be glad to discuss the topic based on an example you provide
