Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

This library can be used in many enterprise projects were network restrictions apply. One common restriction is the connectivity to the Internet, which often needs to be established through an authenticated outbound proxy. I haven't found any issue related to authenticated proxy: See this issue search.

Describe the ideal solution

As in other libraries, this one should support the usage of the following configuration variables:

http.proxyHost
http.proxyPort
http.nonProxyHosts
http.proxyUser
http.proxyPassword

and make use of them to establish outgoing connections via authenticated proxy.

Hi @hvpareja

Thanks for the suggestion — support for authenticated proxy configuration is a valid feature request, and we’ve noted it for future consideration.
