ConnectionsPoolBuilder, HttpProxyBuilder using 'builder' design pattern, adding methods
accepting builder's parameters and invoking builder after analysing these params, will delegitimize
this pattern.

The thing is that sdk creating abstraction over transport layer so all mentioned ConnectionsPoolBuilder methods
are considered sdk internals, may i ask why do you need this (use-case)?
