How can I add a file of proxies into dictionary format - arrays

Question

I'm trying to make my result something like:
proxies_dict = {
'http':'http://178.141.249.246:8081',
'http':'http://103.12.198.54:8080',
'http':'http://23.97.173.57:80',
}
I have tried doing
proxies_dict = {}
with open('proxies.txt', 'r') as proxy_file:
for proxy in proxy_file:
proxies_dict['http'] = 'http://' + proxy.rstrip()
print(proxies_dict)
But this will only add the last line of proxy, not the whole thing. How can I make it add every proxy in a my .txt file?

Something like this could get ya going!
proxy text file looks like this:
178.141.249.246:8081
103.12.198.54:8080
23.97.173.57:80
proxies_list = []
with open('proxies.txt', 'r+') as proxy_file:
# read txt file
proxies = proxy_file.readlines()
for proxy in proxies:
# initialize dict in loop
proxies_dict = {}
# add proxy to dict
proxies_dict['http'] = 'http://' + proxy.rstrip()
# append dict to list
proxies_list.append(proxies_dict)
print(proxies_dict)
[{'http': 'http://178.141.249.246:8081'},
{'http': 'http://103.12.198.54:8080'},
{'http': 'http://23.97.173.57:80'}]
Basically you have to read the file first and then when you add the item to the dictionary you append it to the list which will hold each of your proxies. I did it this way so you could keep the 'http' key for each of your proxies.
EDIT
If you need them all in one dictionary it would look something link this, per David's answer:
with open(file, 'r+') as f:
# read file
content = f.readlines()
# this is an extra step for if you want to
# strip the newlines from each item, else
# links = content
# will work as well
links = [row.strip() for row in content]
# initialize dict
tmp = {}
# create http key and and links list
tmp['http'] = links
# print result
print(tmp)
{'http': ['178.141.249.246:8081', '103.12.198.54:8080', '23.97.173.57:80']}
