Can not specify proxy details on Rest connector level
We would like to set a proxy for one of our REST connectors. For SOAP connectors proxy information can be supplied, however, REST connectors don't seem to have this functionality?
Tried supporting a page with proxy details similarly when dealing with SOAP, however, it is not picked up. I also found pxApplyHTTPProxyConfiguration, but unsure how to use it.
Please note we can not add it as JVM arg as a proxy is only used for this specific connector only.
On community were articles about Setting proxy in REST connector:

https://community1.pega.com/community/product-support/question/proxy-setting-rest-service
But all these articles are about passing proxy details as JVM arguments that would make those global.
We would like to make it on the connector level.
My question is whether this functionality is supported by the platform and if yes, how?

Which version of PRPC is this? I believe below 7.3 you can set like below in pyInvokeRestConnector Activity.
System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", Proprietary information hidden);
System.setProperty("https.proxyPort","443");
But don't forget to clear them off after your connection is complete as below (else it would impact all the other connections).
System.clearProperty("http.proxyHost");
System.clearProperty("http.proxyPort");

Thanks Nikhil for the response. We have the exact same requirement and we are in Pega 8.2.
In 8.2, pyInvokeRESTConnector activity has just one java step which calls invokeConnector() API call.
Can you please suggest any solution to set the proxy conditionally for few REST connections.
