Общий HTTP-клиент и прокси

Я использую общую библиотеку apache httpclient. Можно ли сделать HTTP-запрос через прокси? Точнее, мне нужно использовать список прокси для многопоточных POST-запросов (сейчас я тестирую однопоточные GET-запросы).

Я пытался использовать:

        httpclient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy("67.177.104.230", 58720);

Я получаю ошибки с этим кодом:

Когда я удаляю эту строку, все работает нормально как и ожидалось.
