Sets Java's web proxy properties, so that tasks and code run in the same JVM can have through-the-firewall access to remote web sites, and remote ftp sites. You can nominate an http and ftp proxy, or a socks server, reset the server settings, or do nothing at all.

Examples

<setproxy/>

do nothing

<setproxy proxyhost="firewall"/>

set the proxy to firewall:80

<setproxy proxyhost="firewall" proxyport="81"/>

set the proxy to firewall:81

<setproxy proxyhost=""/>

stop using the http proxy; don't change the socks settings

<setproxy socksproxyhost="socksy"/>

use socks via socksy:1080

<setproxy socksproxyhost=""/>

stop using the socks server.

You can set a username and password for http with the proxyHost and proxyPassword attributes. On Java1.4 and above these can also be used against SOCKS5 servers.
