Proxy exclusion for API, NO_PROXY=api.openai.com?

API
2

I put a forward proxy on my firewall with a bad cert SSL catcher, and configured the OS to use it. It broke my Python chatbot.

Then added this to make it work again:

import os
from openai import OpenAI
try:
    os.environ['NO_PROXY'] = os.environ['NO_PROXY'] + ',' + 'api.openai.com'
except:
    os.environ['NO_PROXY'] = 'api.openai.com'
    
client = OpenAI()

The httpx library that the openai python SDK module uses respects this no_proxy environment variable.
