Hi

I am trying to upload our model using the CLI command.

However, my computer need a proxy to connect S3 server (because of the GFW):

`requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='s3.amazonaws.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /models.huggingface.co/bert/ ***** `

Is there anyway to set a proxy?

Thanks in advance.

BTW, can we use proxy address officially to connect the HuggingFace hub?  
In my case, I got the SSLError issue with my proxy address.
