Are you setting "https.proxyHost" or just "proxyHost" etc.?
You must set the properties as documented in the README and INSTALL pages.
The system properties "proxySet", "proxyHost", and
"proxyPort" are specific to the http handler, not the https handler,
and are the old JDK1.0-style names. In JDK1.1 and later those names
are deprecated but still supported for http and the new names
are similar to the https ones -- namely "http.proxyPort" and
"http.ProxyHost" (the equivalent to proxySet is now just the existence
of a non-empty http.proxyHost property).
