Hello,

I have a Java EE application, with a JSF front-end. In a backing bean, I
want to fetch a URL and need the possibility to set the http proxy at the
application level. So, I tried the following:

            System.setProperty("http.proxySet", "true");
            System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "myproxy.mynetwork.net");
            System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080");

            URI uri = new URI("http", url, null);
            URL serviceUrl = uri.toURL();
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(serviceUrl.openStream()));

I get a "java.net.ConnectException: Operation timed out" exception. I
sniffed the network traffic with wireshark and observed that the HTTP
request does NOT go through the proxy...

What am I am missing?

Many thanks and best regards,

Olivier
