Link Preview doesn't work when a proxy is configured

[markokocic]

Using a supported version?

• [X] I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
• [X] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Overall summary

When Signal is started using the proxy settings, link preview is not working. It was kinda fixed in #5578, but now I can see the same behaviour.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Signal using the following command line: set HTTP_PROXY=socks://127.0.0.1:2080 && set HTTPS_PROXY=socks://127.0.0.1:2080 && start /D "%HOME%\AppData\Local\Programs\signal-desktop" Signal.exe
2. Paste any link into the new chat

Expected result

Link preview is displayed

Actual result

Link preview is not displayed

@markokocic Would you help us by providing a debug log (View -> Debug Logs) after unsuccessfully attempting to create some link previews? That would really help us track things down. Thanks!

debuglog.txt - after pasting youtube link debuglog_1.txt - after saving a message

btw, if I edit a message in Signal on Android, it also gets updated on Desktop with the preview. That means it doesn't have problem to fetch and display preview, but only to create it.

@markokocic Thanks for the debug log. Just to be clear, in Signal, only the sender fetches and creates the link preview. The receiver displays whatever the sender fetched.
