According to ckanext-googleanalytics readme, it needs to send data to url www.google-analytics.com to send events data.

Adds Google Analytics Event Tracking to resource download links, so that resource downloads will be displayed as Events in the Google Analytics reporting interface.

Adds Google Analytics Event Tracking to some API calls so that usage of the API can be reported on via Google Analytics.

Add Google Analytics Event Tracking function that can be used in any exstension to create your custom events tracking.

So we need to add www.google-analytics.com to our proxy allow list.

[FuhuXia]

We have added www.google-analytics.com to the allow list, see the PR above.

But in the ckanext-googleanalytics code, HTTP instead of HTTPS is used. We need convince ckan upstream to use HTTPS, in the meanwhile we can use a fork.
