Hi,
Proxy vole does only work with the standard Java network stack and http client 
out of the box.
For the Apache hhtpclient you need to use a different approach like this:

ProxySearch proxySearch = ProxySearch.getDefaultProxySearch();
ProxySelector myProxySelector = proxySearch.getProxySelector();

SystemDefaultRoutePlanner routePlanner = new SystemDefaultRoutePlanner(
        myProxySelector);
CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()
        .setRoutePlanner(routePlanner)
        .build();
