title: Spring Boot Proxy via HttpClient doesn't work
body: <p>I'm trying to setup a WebClient connection in Spring Boot using a proxy. My implementation looks like the following:</p>
  <pre><code>final WebClient.Builder webclientBuilder = WebClient.builder();
  
  final HttpClient httpClient = HttpClient.create();
  httpClient.proxy(proxy -&gt; proxy
                      .type(Proxy.HTTP)
                      .host(proxyName)
                      .port(Integer.parseInt(proxyPort)));
  
      final ReactorClientHttpConnector connector = new ReactorClientHttpConnector(httpClient);
      webclientBuilder.clientConnector(connector);
  
  final WebClient webClient = webclientBuilder
          .baseUrl(baseUrl)
          .build();
  </code></pre>
  <p>After running it and sending an API call, I receive a &quot;Connection timed out: no further information&quot;. I should get back a Bad Request (in case my call is wrong), but I don't.</p>
  <p>Is the implementation wrong?
  the proxyName is written like this: &quot;proxy.blabla.de&quot;</p>
