MongoDB tools do not accept a connection string with proxy options

[Kristian_Kraljic]

I am following up to the following thread about mongosh:

Why are Proxy Options not enabled for Mongodb-Shell?

I noticed that the options for using a SOCKS proxy that exist in “node-mongodb-native”, which the CLI-Repl seems to use under the hood, are not enabled in the cli argument mapping (see packages/cli-repl/src/arg-mapper.ts). I was curious what the reason for this is and if you intend to enable theese in the future?

It was mentioned that (correctly) you may use the &proxyHost and &proxyPort parameters in the MongoDB connection string, to connect to a MongoDB using mongosh. However I tried to use the same (working) connection string using mongodump (version 100.7.0), but I am getting the following warnings:

2023-05-15T11:37:01.798+0200 WARNING: ignoring unsupported URI parameter ‘proxyhost’
2023-05-15T11:37:01.800+0200 WARNING: ignoring unsupported URI parameter ‘proxyport’

Is there any reason why or workaround how to get the proxy options working for mongodump? Thanks.

It would be nice if mongodump, mongorestore and all the MongoDB Database Tools natively supported proxies (SOCKS, HTTP)
