mempool
Add http(s) and/or socks proxy support
It'll be nice for those of us behind corporate proxies inside organizations...
Right now I'm using an http proxy for web browsing (only allows connections to ports 80/443). My organization uses squid to offer this service.
What's the best UX for you? setting an env var to set the proxy or via flag?

For me, a flag would be better, but i bet that the best UX for the rest of the world would be the env var. I'll settle for any, but considering that mempool-cli doesn't take any other flags so far (my guess) the reasonable choice would be to keep it that way and implement this via env var, right?

Yes I think that makes sense are there any environment variable name standard for CLI applications?
Otherwise I'm thinking about PROXY=.
On the other side, I think that it is difficult to document that, and that makes me think that flags can be useful too.
Actually, standard environment variable names for proxy are http_proxy and https_proxy, this way if the user has a proxy configured in system settings there will be no need to set the proxy again before running mempool-cli.
