Description

There needs to be a way to configure a proxy and proxy credentials on the HttpClient HostConfiguration and State objects in RepositoryServiceImpl to enable requests over HTTP proxies.

Ideally the configuration could be done without resorting to static or thread local values.

The workaround is to use a proxy servlet that has the real endpoint of the repository hardcoded so it's not that critical of a bug but this workaround may not always be an available option.
