I saw some people set proxySet to true when they access proxy, but some don't. I never had the need to set that. All I do is set proxyHost and proxyPort, of course also AUthenticator if authentication required.

Question... is proxySet really used by java? I even see someone set proxyType, which again I never had the need to set.
