Android Studio unable to connect to Github via proxy

Question

Environment Info

Windows 7 Enterprise OS SP 1
Android Studio AI-141.1972460
Build #AI-141.1972460, built on June 1, 2015
JRE: 1.7.0_80 b15 amd64
JVM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM by Oracle Corporation

Access to internet is via corporate proxy server

Expected Behavior

Location: Version Control-->Github configuration panel

1.When valid github account and password fields are populated clicking on Test connection button should result in successful connection confirmation to Github.
2.When selecting Share Project on Github project successfully connects and uploads project files.

Problem

Can not share project via Github via Share Project on Github Following error is reported when clicking on Test and when selecting menu option

Error Indicated

Can't login: Connect to api.github.com:443

Additional Details

1.Proxy is correctly configured via Android Studio. SDK, SDK tools and plugins are successfully downloaded.

2.Git commands work successfully from a windows command prompt and via Android Studio's Git Menu Options.

Successful commits, and push via Android Studio work successfully, after first creating repository via Github website.

However via Test button and Share Project on Github menu option fails with the error indicated above.

I understand that this error is indicated when proxy is configured and Github plugin access is not configured for proxy (However I see no way of setting proxy, I assumed that proxy settings are global for all plugins in Android Studio).

Please help me resolve this issue. I using Git menu options so it is not a showstopper but it is still very frustrating.

Try setting proxy for git using commands:

git config --global http.proxy http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080
git config --global https.proxy https://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080
