The check for updates does not handle a returned "407 Proxy authentication
required" error correctly, but retries the request immediately.

One of our users installed OpenOffice 2.1 and left the update notification
switched on. As our network uses a proxy that requires authentication, the
automated update was not able to contact
http://update.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update2?, but
got a 407 (proxy authentication required) HTTP error.

However, OO did not cancel the request, but retried every 2-3 milliseconds!.
This led to more than five million connection requests during the last 24 hours.
