## Not run:

# with proxy (look at request/outgoing headers)
# (res <- HttpClient$new(
#   url = "http://www.google.com",
#   proxies = proxy("http://97.77.104.22:3128")
# ))
# res$proxies
# res$get(verbose = TRUE)

# vs. without proxy (look at request/outgoing headers)
# (res2 <- HttpClient$new(url = "http://www.google.com"))
# res2$get(verbose = TRUE)

# Use authentication
# (res <- HttpClient$new(
#   url = "http://google.com",
#   proxies = proxy("http://97.77.104.22:3128", user = "foo", pwd = "bar")
# ))
