+    <itemizedlist>
+      <listitem>
+        <para><emphasis>http.proxyHost</emphasis> - the host name of the proxy server. </para>
+      </listitem>

+      <listitem>
+        <para><emphasis>http.proxyPort</emphasis> - the port number, the default value being 80. </para>
+      </listitem>
+      
+      <listitem>
+        <para><emphasis>http.nonProxyHosts</emphasis> - a list of hosts that should be reached directly, 
+        bypassing the proxy. This is a list of patterns separated by '|'. The patterns may start or end with a '*' for wildcards. Any host matching one of these patterns will be reached through a direct connection instead of through a proxy. </para>
+      </listitem>
+    </itemizedlist>
+    
+    And for HTTPS:
