+Proxy support
+-------------
+
+Proxies can be specified via ``HTTP_PROXY`` and ``HTTPS_PROOXY`` keys
+in ``settings`` argument. Username and password can be specified
+as part of the proxy url (the format is ``protocol://username:password@url``).

+If you are using proxy with Splash, it is assumed that
+you want to have Splash make requests via given proxy,
+and not make a request **to** Splash via proxy.
+``HTTP_PROXY`` is always used for Splash.
