Description

It has been observed that the requestOptions.proxy parameter in the format http://user:pass@host:port does not work as expected. This prevents users from successfully routing requests through the specified proxy.

To reproduce

Configure the requestOptions.proxy parameter using the format http://user:pass@host:port.
Send a request to the API.
Observe that the request does not route through the specified proxy.

Workaround: Use Proxy Support with override and set the proxy in Visual Studio Code (VSC).
