Dictionary handled as string

Line 44 in 4f75e6a

pos_opt.add_argument("--proxy",default=None,metavar="",help="Set proxy (e.g. {'https':'https://10.10.1.10:1080'})")

When I try to run this from CLI in kali the proxy is getting handled as a string by the required requests module and throws an error

/lib/python3.7/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 290, in rebuild_proxies
new_proxies = proxies.copy()

This appears to be because when it receives the parameter it is a string, even when passed as --proxy={'https':'https://localhost:8080'}

Maybe a separate parameter for https, http, noproxy gets around this? Am I missing something simple?
