How to set a proxy to `g_file_copy()`

Platform Core
1

Is there a way to set a http proxy to g_file_copy(src, dst, ...), where:

src = g_file_new_for_uri("http://...");
dst = g_file_new_for_uri("file:///...");

?

I only want this g_file_copy() to use specified proxy so the global setting isn’t applicable IIUC.

GSocketClient has a property PROP_PROXY_RESOLVER, but it seems to me that gsocketinputstream.h isn’t public.

I don’t think it’s possible using g_file_copy(). The HTTP implementation for g_file_copy() lives in gvfs and the code for the HTTP backend, and it doesn’t have any specific proxy handling.

I think your best bet is to use libsoup directly to download the file and set the proxy as you wish.
