Hi,

Recently I wanted to implement the 'SlackHandler' to log critical error messages to Slack, however I've come across an issue as I'm behind a proxy.

There doesn't seem to be any way to configure this handler to use a proxy as it uses fsockopen and there's no way to pass it any options or anything.

Any advice/thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

That is indeed something we do not support, although it's an issue across the board really.. Should be considered for 2.0.

libcurl supports proxy configurations via environment variables such as https_proxy. Full documentation: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-env.html

The one catch is that SlackHandler does not use curl, but SlackWebhookHandler does. So, in a way this ticket could be implemented by using curl everywhere and allowing proxies to be managed through its existing functionality
