Elm Http request through proxy

Question

I am trying to make an Http request which needs to go through a proxy. I saw an answer referring how to do it with create-elm-app, but I am not using this and was wondering if there is an easy method of doing this? I have tried with the Via header (left down below to see the use I am going for), but that probably has nothing to do with it.

Do I need to use some kind of behind the scene trickery or is there a native way of doing it?

 fetchUiElements : Cmd Msg
 fetchUiElements =
 let
     baseUrl = "https://example.com/"

     responseDecoder =
         Json.Decode.field "data" Json.Decode.string

     httpBody =
         Http.jsonBody <|
             Json.Encode.object
                 [ ("", Json.Encode.string "")
                 , ("", Json.Encode.string "")
                 ]


 in
     Http.request
        { method = "POST"
        , headers = [ Http.header "Via" "http://proxy.com:8888"]
        , url = baseUrl ++ "getUiElements"
        , body = httpBody
        , timeout = Nothing
        , tracker = Nothing
        , expect = Http.expectJson FetchUiElements responseDecoder
        }

Edit: For further clarification I want the same behaviour as this curl

curl -x "http://proxy:8888" -v https://endpoint/getstuff
