/**
 * A utility class to detect which proxy, if any, should be used for a given
 * {@link java.net.SocketAddress}. This class performs network requests to resolve address names,
 * and should only be used in places that are expected to do IO such as the
 * {@link io.grpc.NameResolver}.
 *
 * <h1>How Proxies work in gRPC</h1>
 *
 * <p>In order for gRPC to use a proxy, {@link NameResolver}, {@link ProxyDetector} and the
 * underlying transport need to work together.
 *
 * <p>The {@link NameResolver} should invoke the {@link ProxyDetector} retrieved from the {@link
 * NameResolver.Args#getProxyDetector}, and pass the returned {@link ProxiedSocketAddress} to
 * {@link NameResolver.Listener#onAddresses}.  The DNS name resolver shipped with gRPC is already
 * doing so.
 *
 * <p>The default {@code ProxyDetector} uses Java's standard {@link java.net.ProxySelector} and
 * {@link java.net.Authenticator} to detect proxies and authentication credentials and produce
 * {@link HttpConnectProxiedSocketAddress}, which is for using an HTTP CONNECT proxy.  A custom
 * {@code ProxyDetector} can be passed to {@link ManagedChannelBuilder#proxyDetector}.
 *
 * <p>The {@link ProxiedSocketAddress} is then handled by the transport.  The transport needs to
 * support whatever type of {@code ProxiedSocketAddress} returned by {@link ProxyDetector}.  The
 * Netty transport and the OkHttp transport currently only support {@link
 * HttpConnectProxiedSocketAddress} which is returned by the default {@code ProxyDetector}.

   * Given a target address, returns a proxied address if a proxy should be used. If no proxy should
   * be used, then return value will be {@code null}.
   *
   * <p>If the returned {@code ProxiedSocketAddress} contains any address that needs to be resolved
   * locally, it should be resolved before it's returned, and this method throws if unable to
   * resolve it.
   *
   * @param targetServerAddress the target address, which is generally unresolved, because the proxy
   *                            will resolve it.
