SOAPConnection through authenticated proxy

In the past, I've used the Jakarta Commons HttpClient package to connect
to external URLs through our authenticated proxy. I now have some code
that uses "SOAPConnection.call()", which I have to use to make a call
through our authenticated proxy. Is there a reasonable interface that
would allow me to configure this? Does this require setting certain
system properties? I imagine this would be setting "http.proxyHost", at
least, but I don't see any way to set connection properties, like I'll
need in order to send the "Proxy-Authorization" HTTP header.

I may be limited by the fact that I'm using JWSDP 1.1 (although I don't
see anything new in this area in JWSDP 1.3).
