Botocore: Proxy support?

[PVSec]

Will there be a way to set the proxy and proxy authentication through the code any time soon? Maybe something like "set_proxy(proxy_server=proxy_server, proxy_port=proxy_port, proxy_user=proxy_user, proxy_password=proxy_password)"

Marking as feature request. We will consider adding support.

dirty but

import os
os.environ['http_proxy'] = "http://user:password@server:port"

# prior to
import boto3
boto3.Session()

works for me

The problem is that this sets the proxy for the whole process which can interfere with other HTTP requests.

This is a problem for our use case, as setting the http proxy means we can't use our pip index.
