This is more of a follow-up to the answer given by @Stephane Lallemagne

There is a much conciser way of making HttpClient pick up system proxy settings

CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.custom()
        .setRoutePlanner(
             new SystemDefaultRoutePlanner(ProxySelector.getDefault()))
        .build();

or this if you want an instance of HttpClient fully configured with system defaults

CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.createSystem();
