Possible proxy configuration options are:

Environment variables ( e.g. WINGET_PROXY_URL)
Auto-detecting settings from inetcpl.cpl aka IE
command line arguments
config file
registry config separate from IE. This would tie in nicely with ADMX (group policy) templates down the road

please consider also proxy the download link inside the package , for example ,

winget install kodi --proxy http://xxx/

please also proxy the download link 'https://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/windows/win64/kodi-18.7-Leia-x64.exe' which insided the installation package.

I would recommend standard variables like HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY

When adding proxy support, please do not forget supporting proxies that require NTLM-authentication!!!
In an enterprise environment where the workstations are joined to a domain, and the users use domain accounts, entering a password should not be necessary! (Windows Integrated Authentication)

Thank you!
