Action does not work behind a proxy

[RaviVadera]

What happened?

When using the action in a GitHub runner which is behind a proxy, the action does not work and times out waiting for connection. Tried setting necessary http_proxy, https_proxy env vars for the action but it still does not help.

/runner/_work/_actions/pulumi/actions/v4/webpack:/pulumi-github-action/node_modules/got/dist/source/core/index.js:970
            error = error instanceof timed_out_1.TimeoutError ? new TimeoutError(error, this.timings, this) : new RequestError(error.message, error, this);

Expected Behavior

The action is able to run behind the proxy with necessary env vars set.

Steps to reproduce

Run the action on a runner that is behind a proxy.

Adding proxy config to 'got' should fix the issue,

Hi @RaviVadera thanks for opening this issue! I think you've correctly diagnosed the issue.
Would it be a possible workaround to add https://get.pulumi.com/ to your allow list?

Alternatively, if you're willing, we'd accept a PR to pass along proxy information to got. WDYT?

[RaviVadera]

@RobbieMcKinstry most probably not possible to change the proxy config, I will propose a PR soon-ish.

Just hit this issue as well. got doesn't seem to natively support proxies without the use of another agent entirely; and from skimming through the issue history there, it doesn't appear like that's bound to change anytime soon.

got only appears to be used for this one request and currently breaks proxy support for the entire action. Is there a good reason to not just use the native fetch API here?
