# Enterprise Networking

> Proxy, TLS, CA bundle, and corporate-network configuration for enterprise environments.

Use this page when cascadeflow needs to run inside enterprise networking constraints like proxies, custom CA bundles, or corporate PKI.

## Zero-Config First

cascadeflow automatically detects common enterprise environment variables:

| Variable                               | Purpose                      |
| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `HTTPS_PROXY`, `HTTP_PROXY`            | Proxy configuration          |
| `SSL_CERT_FILE`                        | Custom CA certificate bundle |
| `REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE`, `CURL_CA_BUNDLE` | Alternate CA bundle paths    |
| `NO_PROXY`                             | Bypass rules                 |

## Explicit HTTP Configuration

For explicit control, use `HttpConfig` in Python or `httpConfig` in TypeScript.

### Python

```python theme={null}
from cascadeflow import CascadeAgent, ModelConfig, HttpConfig

agent = CascadeAgent(
    models=[
        ModelConfig(
            name="gpt-4o",
            provider="openai",
            cost=0.00625,
            http_config=HttpConfig(
                proxy="http://proxy.corp.example.com:8080",
                ca_cert_path="/path/to/corporate-ca.pem",
                verify_ssl=True,
                timeout=60.0,
            ),
        ),
    ],
)
```

### TypeScript

```typescript theme={null}
import { CascadeAgent } from '@cascadeflow/core';

const agent = new CascadeAgent({
  models: [
    {
      name: 'gpt-4o',
      provider: 'openai',
      cost: 0.00625,
      httpConfig: {
        proxy: 'http://proxy.corp.example.com:8080',
        caCertPath: '/path/to/corporate-ca.pem',
        verifySsl: true,
        timeout: 60000,
      },
    },
  ],
});
```

## Enterprise Guidance

* Prefer CA bundles over disabling SSL verification.
* Keep proxy credentials out of source code.
* Treat network configuration as deployment config, not app logic.
