Sadly, this code will not work on OS X or most non-sun JREs. The location of proxy information is very much platform, JVM and plugin dependant. I'd say it would be a bad idea to include this in HttpClient, but including it as an initial starting point in the docs may be worth while. I guess it depends what the scope of HttpClient is, but I would have thought that the proxy configuration should be something that's passed into HttpClient rather than something it tries to figure out. A separate project which detects proxy settings in applets on various platforms, has the ability to parse the auto-configuration pages for proxies etc, but it really is a big can of worms that I don't think HttpClient needs (particularly coming up to a release).
