Proxy configuration - doesn't seem to work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tried to configure sending requests via proxy but the response I get is as 
though proxy settings are not applied.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Here is my code to send a request
HttpHost httpProxyInstance = new HttpHost("proxyhostname",80);
Response r = 
given().config(newConfig().httpClient(httpClientConfig().setParam(ConnRoutePName
s.DEFAULT_PROXY, httpProxyInstance))).expect()...

2. I turned on console logging for HTTP Client

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
My testing url is such that it will return different responses depending on 
proxy. I get response as though no proxy is being used.
And there is no mention of proxy settings in HTTP Client log.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Rest-Assured 1.7.2, HTTP Client 4.2.3
Win 7x64

Please provide any additional information below.
HTTP Client itself seems to work:

HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("proxyhostname", "proxy port", "http");
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY, proxy);
HttpHost target = new HttpHost("url here", 80, "http");
HttpRequest req = new HttpGet("/");
HttpResponse rsp = httpclient.execute(target, req);

Response from this code is the one I need - and I see connecting to proxy in 
the log.

For what it's worth, adding -Dhttp.proxyHost and -Dhttp.proxyPort system 
properties does seem to work.

This worked for me.

static {
    System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", "yourProxyHost");
    System.setProperty("https.proxyPort", "yourProxyPort");
}

I've implemented better proxy support now, for example:

given().proxy("127.0.0.1", 8888). ..

or statically:

RestAssured.proxy("127.0.0.1", 8888);

Please try it out by depending on version 2.3.2-SNAPSHOT after having added the 
following maven repo:
<repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>sonatype</id>
            <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
            <snapshots />
        </repository>
</repositories>

I'd like to release a new version asap so please give me feedback.
