> Several companies adopt a Proxy Server based approach in order to provide an additional layer of security while communicating with external platforms to establish legitimacy of caller and calle. A potential use case would be writing logs from Airflow to a cloud storage platform like google cloud via an intermediary proxy server.
> In the current scenario the proxy details need to be hardcoded and passed to the HTTP client library(httplib2) in the GoogleCloudBaseHook class (gcp_api_base_hook.py). It would be convenient if the proxy details (for example, host and port) can be extracted from the airflow configuration file as opposed to hardcoding the details at hook level.
