Use HTTPS proxy on Apache HttpClient

Question

I have been trying to do this since some days but couldn't get a working fix :/, so I'll just ask a question on here. Is there any way to use HTTPs proxies with Apache HttpClient?

And what is the fastest way to use an HTTP proxy with it? HttpClientBuilder#setProxy seems pretty slow.

Thanks!

I recomend http-request built on apache http api. You can build the HttpRequest with proxy as following:

HttpRequest httpRequest = HttpRequestBuilder.create(someHttpMethod, someUri)
                 .proxy(host, port)
                 .build();
