Cannot access tweets through a ResultStream from behind a proxy #147
Description
Describe the bug
Trying to stream results from behind a proxy fails with a connection refused error.
HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY environment variables are set but are ignored by ResultStream due to line 48 in result_stream.py - in make_session session.trust_env=False
To Reproduce
From behind a proxy,
os.environ['HTTPS_PROXY']='xxx'
os.environ['HTTP_PROXY']='yyy'
creds = load_credentials('twitter_keys.yml',env_overwrite=False)
rule = gen_rule_payload('beyonce', from_date='2022-01-01',to_date='2022-01-07')
rs = ResultStream(rule_payload=rule,**creds)
tweets = list(rs.stream())

If trusting the contents of the environment variables would break other things, then an option could be created to pass proxy arguments when constructing ResultStream

This is affecting me too. It looks like
session.trust_env=Falsewas added by #48 .
