---------------------------------------

             Summary: Add https.proxy* documentation to HttpClientBuilder
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1883
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1883
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 4.5.3
            Reporter: Marcel Stör


To amend HTTPCLIENT-1128 I guess...

I find the list of [{{http.proxy*}} system properties in the type Javadoc for {{HttpClientBuilder}}|https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/blob/4.5.x/httpclient/src/main/java/org/apache/http/impl/client/HttpClientBuilder.java#L140] a bit misleading.

The JVM distinguishes between HTTP and HTTPS proxy settings (decide for yourself how much sense that makes) but the Javadoc comment only talks about {{http.proxy*}} system properties and not {{https.proxy*}} system properties. One might come to the conclusion that by using {{#useSystemProperties()}} on the builder you'd only get proxy support for HTTP connections but not for HTTPS. 

Adding a short note about that would be appropriate IMO.
