I think you might lose https connections over http proxies that require

basic authentication unless you set a particular system property. See

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8210814 and

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=549832 . I presume the

Java 11 HttpClient will behave the same in that respect.
