I was planning to use http package (https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/http) to make requests to remote server.
Unfortunately, my network uses proxy.

While dart's stadard lib's io HttpClient supports proxy, it's not true for http package.

When running on the VM, the http library uses an HttpClient under the hood. You can instantiate IOClient directly with a custom HttpClient (http://www.dartdocs.org/documentation/http/0.11.1+1/index.html#http/http.IOClient); this allows you to do low-level configuration like proxy logic while still using the nice http API.
