I am trying to use a proxy with auth in Swift. I finally got it working using NWConnection. And I can see from my proxy server that it's actually getting the request from my iOS app when I call this function. However I get the error response below. I am assuming something about my request to httpbin.org is wrong but I have not been able to figure it out. The proxy in the array is working and feel free to use it if you want to test.
Connected to proxy: resi.wealthproxies.com

The issue was the formatting of the HTTP request within the string. The correct format is:
let httpRequest = "GET /get HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: httpbin.org\r\nConnection: close\r\nAccept: */*\r\nUser-Agent: MySwiftApp/1.0\r\n\r\n"
This code enables requests in Swift to utilize a Proxy with Auth. The only way I found to Authenticate a proxy in swift was with NWConnection. All the other native methods didn't work.
