ft:Support HTTPS proxies and SOCKS proxies

[mission-sun]

After the framework recently replaced the request library from axios with fetch, it was found that the native fetch only supports HTTPS proxies and cannot be compatible with existing SOCKS proxy scenarios. To address this issue, the current

adjustment plan is as follows:

1. Use node-fetch instead of the native fetch to support both HTTPS and SOCKS proxies.
2. Redefine the FetchRequestInit type to avoid type conflicts.
3. Keep the dispatcher parameter to ensure compatibility with older versions.

export const getHttpStream = async (url, options = {}) => {
const response = await fetch(url.toString(), {
agent: options.dispatcher,
method: 'GET',
headers: options.headers,
});

if (!response.ok) {
throw new Boom(Failed to fetch stream from ${url}, {
statusCode: response.status,
data: { url },
});
}

const body = response.body;

// ✅ If it's already a Node stream (Gunzip, fs.ReadStream, etc.), return as-is
if (body && typeof body.pipe === 'function') {
return body;
}

// ✅ Otherwise (older Node versions) convert Web ReadableStream to Node Readable
if (typeof Readable.fromWeb === 'function' && body instanceof ReadableStream) {
return Readable.fromWeb(body);
}

// ✅ Fallback: just return whatever it is
return body;
};

the response is already Gunzip, don’t try to re-unzip or re-convert it.

This breaks web compatibility. @jlucaso1 any thoughts

There are libraries available for SOCKS proxy support with undici (the Node.js built-in fetch).

Here's one you can use:
