Client not able to reach Cluster API behind a proxy if using multiple client function

[FlorianJDF]

Hello all,

What happened (please include outputs or screenshots):
I need to access multiple k8s clusters at once, all behind a proxy.
To be able to reach many k8s clusters at once, I use the function new_client_from_config_dict.

Unfortunatly this do no allow to have an HTTP(S) PROXY set.

This #333 solution do not work because the new_client_from_config_dict is not using the _default object in kube_client.Configuration

What you expected to happen:
Been able to set a proxy variable or inject a client configuration when using the function new_client_from_config_dict

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

# This is working
config.load_kube_config()
client.Configuration._default.proxy = "MY_HTTP_PROXY"
client.CoreV1Api().list_namespace()

# Impossible to set a proxy with a new client from config
my_client = config.new_client_from_config_dict(kubeconfig2)
my_client.configuration.proxy = "MY_HTTP_PROXY"
client.CoreV1Api(api_client=my_client).list_namespace()
# >> Proxy error

Environment:

• Kubernetes version (kubectl version):

• 1.23.8

• OS (e.g., MacOS 10.13.6):

• MacOS 13.0.1

• Python version (python --version)

• 3.9.13

• Python client version (pip list | grep kubernetes)

• 25.3.0

Thanks,

Hello all,
Do you have any news or any other patch than mine?
This issue is blocking using standard function when behind a proxy,

Cheers

I got the same issue with new_client_from_config()

# Impossible to set a proxy with a new client from config
my_api_client=config.new_client_from_config(my_kubeconfig_file)
my_api_client.configuration.proxy="MY_HTTP_PROXY"
eks_client = dynamic.DynamicClient(my_api_client)
api_deployment = eks_client.resources.get(api_version="apps/v1", kind="Deployment")
api_deployment.get(namespace='MY_NAMESPACE',name='MY_DEPLOYMENT')
# >> Proxy error

@hilmeeen you can use this fix if you want: #1968
Just waiting for my PR to be reviewed

you could try this solution.

config.load_kube_config()
k8s_config = client.Configuration().get_default_copy()
k8s_config .proxy = "MY_HTTP_PROXY"
client.Configuration().set_default(k8s_config) 
client.CoreV1Api().list_namespace()
