Ah, yes, damn proxies. There is no current way of configuring the proxy directly.

There are system properties, but the way the HTTP client is setup needs to change to use those.

OK，thank you

I'm leaving the issue open, as this needs to be fixed so you can use a proxy.

package au.com.dius.pact.provider.broker
HalClient.groovy

private newHttpClient() {
http = new RESTClient(baseUrl)
http.parser.'application/hal+json' = http.parser.'application/json'
http.handler.'404' = {
throw new NotFoundHalResponse("404 Not Found response from the pact broker (URL: '${baseUrl}'," +
" LINK: '${lastUrl}')")
}
http
}

can i set proxy here , use like : http.setProxy()

[uglyog]

Yes, that is one way to do it. I was hoping to use the proxy system properties (http.proxyHost, http.proxyPort) as defined here: https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/impl/client/SystemDefaultHttpClient.html
