[🚀 Feature]: HTTP Client Configurations

[titusfortner]

Dependencies

• Python: [py] implement configurable configuration class for the http client #13286 (partial)
• Java:
• Ruby:
• JS:
• .NET:

Feature and motivation

There are a number of things that users may want to adjust (Proxies, Read Timeouts, Connection Timeouts, Redirect attempts, etc). Right now not all languages allow doing this. This issue is to identify the requirements for a client config and its implementation.

Right now I think only Java (and kind of Ruby) has this concept, and supports a limited number of things. Implementing this in C# would improve the constructors considerably.

Things that can go in here:

• Base uri
• connection / open timeout
• read timeout
• proxy / credentials
• Keep alive
• Max Redirects
• Certificates
• Filters (Java has this and I'm not sure what it is)

Usage example

proxy = "http://http_proxy.com:8080"
config = ClientConfig(keep_alive=False, proxy=proxy)
driver = webdriver.ChromeDriver(client_config=config)

This is essentially a duplicate of #12368 which has more info, so I'm closing this one.
