I think you may just have found a bug in setproxy, one that couldnt be
tested except against your network, which is why nobody has found it before
1. the best solution would be to find the bug in the proxy class, patch
it and submit the patch to us in a bugrep. That way we can incorporate
it into Ant.
2. the fastest solution is to work out which -Dhttp.proxy settings you
need to get any java app work through the firewall, and set the ANT_OPTS
env variable to that value.
3. if you use Java1.5, then the JRE can be told to use IE's/Gnome's/
Safari's proxy settings. Ant 1.7 will do this automatically, unless told
not to with the -noproxy option.
