when using the http-client to request a https-resource through a web-proxy that uses (requires) authentication, the proxy authentication header with credentials are not included in the CONNECT request.

Seen with 7.5.1; Code reading learned that the code has not changed

suggested solution:

public class HttpConnection 
....
    private void commitRequest() throws IOException
    {
        ....

-           if (_destination.isProxied() && !HttpMethods.CONNECT.equals(method) && uri.startsWith("/"))
+            if (_destination.isProxied() )
+            {
+            	if ( !HttpMethods.CONNECT.equals(method) && uri.startsWith("/"))
+            	{
                    ...
+                }

                Authentication auth = _destination.getProxyAuthentication();
                if (auth != null)
                    auth.setCredentials(_exchange);
            }
        ....


    }
    ....
