Feature request - add switch to Set-IBConfig which will bypass proxy or set no proxy

[pubsquash]

Hi I have found in our environment the proxy had to be disabled / bypassed with various PS code, in order to get the module to work.

#Proxy Bypassing, To bypass the proxy (use the direct connection), set it to null:
#PS5.1
[System.Net.HttpWebRequest]::DefaultWebProxy = New-Object System.Net.WebProxy($null)

#PS7+
[System.Net.Http.HttpClient]::DefaultProxy = New-Object System.Net.Webproxy($null)

Would it be possible to implement this in the module with a switch to the Set-IBConfig command, similar to the -SkipCertificateCheck

Regards

Hi @pubsquash, thanks for reaching out. Proxy support in the PowerShell web cmdlets has seemingly always been kind of a pain from what I can tell. I'll see what I can do though.

Great thanks! Also getting this issue if running under an automation account, the Set-IBConfig call errors out:

Error occurred: System.Management.Automation.ParameterBindingValidationException: Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Message' because it is null.

But if I run a direct Invoke-webRequest with the automation account, all ok. Hope you can assist.

Sorry for the delay. Totally lost track of this. I can't say I've seen that error before. What sort of automation account is this?
