If your software uses a ProxySelector  for example for using a PAC-script instead of a static host port  and your HTTPComponents is version 4 3 or above then you can use your ProxySelector for your HttpClient like this   ProxySelector myProxySelector        HttpClient myHttpClient   HttpClientBuilder create   setRoutePlanner new SystemDefaultRoutePlanner myProxySelector    build      And then do your requests as usual   HttpGet myRequest   new HttpGet       myHttpClient execute myRequest

For httpclient 4 1 x you can set the proxy like this  taken from this example        HttpHost proxy   new HttpHost  127 0 0 1   8080   http         DefaultHttpClient httpclient   new DefaultHttpClient        try           httpclient getParams   setParameter ConnRoutePNames DEFAULT PROXY  proxy            HttpHost target   new HttpHost  issues apache org   443   https            HttpGet req   new HttpGet                System out println  executing request to     target     via     proxy           HttpResponse rsp   httpclient execute target  req                     finally              When HttpClient instance is no longer needed             shut down the connection manager to ensure            immediate deallocation of all system resources         httpclient getConnectionManager   shutdown

Starting from Apache HTTPComponents 4 3 x HttpClientBuilder class sets the proxy defaults from System properties http proxyHost and http proxyPort or else you can override them using setProxy method
