Automatic proxy

[dmaliog]

Add the ability to set a proxy that will automatically detect that there is no access to a file and try to use a proxy to bypass this limitation

If yay sees a timeout, let him try to let it through a proxy

I would not feel comfortable embedding proxies not set by the user, what stops you from running yay behind a proxy all the time?

If you work under it constantly, the speed will depend on the proxy, which can be much slower than the active connection. It is possible to simply check, for example, set http_proxy=0.0.0.0:0000 and check if these 2 conditions are met, then use a proxy during the timeout. If set is not found, then there is no need to use a proxy.
