How to add a HTTPS proxy to NSURLSession in SWIFT 3

Question

I have used the following code for connecting to the proxy server and works great for only HTTP requests but not for HTTPS. In iOS 9.0, kCFStreamPropertyHTTPSProxyHost and kCFStreamPropertyHTTPSProxyPort are depreciated.

let myPortInt = 12345;
let myProxyUrlString = "myProxyURL";

    let sessionConfiguration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration();
    sessionConfiguration.connectionProxyDictionary = [
        kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPEnable: true,
        kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPPort: myPortInt,
        kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPProxy: myProxyUrlString,
    ]
    let url = NSURL(string: endPointUrl)
    let postRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url!, cachePolicy: NSURLRequestCachePolicy.ReloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData, timeoutInterval: 10.0)


    let jsonString =  bodyString
    postRequest.HTTPBody = jsonString 
    postRequest.HTTPMethod = "POST"
    postRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")

    let session = NSURLSession(configuration: sessionConfiguration)       
    let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(postRequest){}

I found the solution for adding HTTPS proxy to NSURLsession

   let proxyDict : NSDictionary = ["HTTPEnable": Int(1), "HTTPProxy": myProxyUrlString, "HTTPPort": myPortInt, "HTTPSEnable": Int(1), "HTTPSProxy": myProxyUrlString, "HTTPSPort": myPortInt]

    let sessionConfiguration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration();

This is not correct way as you never know when Apple will change their proxy strings then above code will fail – York
