Ktor: Does ktor-client allow setting proxy with authentication?

Hello,

I didn't find anywhere information regarding the possibility of making ktor-client requests using proxy with authentication.

Is it possible at all?

I've found that it can be done with Apache client:

private val client = io.ktor.client.HttpClient(Apache) {
        engine {
            followRedirects = true

            customizeClient {
                setProxy(HttpHost(proxyDetails.host, proxyDetails.port))

                val credentialsProvider = BasicCredentialsProvider()
                credentialsProvider .setCredentials(AuthScope(proxyHost, proxyPort),
                    UsernamePasswordCredentials(proxyUsername, proxyPassword))

                setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider )
            }
        }
    }

Is there a way to do it multiplatform ?
