      Attempt a java.net.http client GET to an HTTPS target using a proxy which requires authentication.

      HttpResponse.statusCode() returns 407 but HttpResponse.body() returns null.
      Works as expected with http:// target.

      Since it works correctly with http:// target this seems like a bug and not a documentation gap. It would be onerous to test the result of body() for null every time.

      Have seen issue with BodyHandlers.ofString() and BodyHandlers.ofInputStream()
