How to configure an HTTPS proxy?

[Jayasheel]

My build server is behind firewall and needs to go through a Proxy server. gradlew -> gradle-wrapper.jar apparently does not have a way to specify a proxy server and build is stuck at:
Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.1.1-bin.zip

have you tried to configure the proxy as described in
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html and
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:accessing_the_web_via_a_proxy
