Hello All

I am trying to setup watch alerts to send webhooks, to an outside provider.,  
But i am behind an locked down proxy, where i need to provide a username and password, to get through. I can see how to set the proxy settings but i cant see how to set the username and password.

Any help would be grateful

See [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/29870](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/29870)

As the version of apache httpclient has changed to support this, the mentioned change should work. I have not tested this however.
