title: Tweepy streaming behind proxy not working
body: <p>I can't seem to get tweepy stream working behind a proxy. By this I mean I've tried doing this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tweepy.API(auth, proxy = "1.1.1.1:8080")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I used that exact same address which clearly isn't valid, and tweepy didn't give me any errors and just streamed normally, which is weird.</p>
  
  <p>I've looked at other similar questions relating to this and none seem to work or have valuable answers. </p>
