ProxySelector]
  class allows for a more flexible, per-connection proxy configuration of the 
default HTTP implementation.
+ Because !HttpClient 3.1 is compatible with Java 1.2, it cannot support that 
class directly.
- Because !HttpClient 3.1 is compatible with Java 1.2 and !HttpClient 4.0 will 
probably be compatible with Java 1.4,
- this class will not be directly supported by !HttpClient anytime soon.
  However, your application can make use of the default {{{ProxySelector}}} to 
pick up the
- standard proxy configuration and pass it it !HttpClient.
+ standard proxy configuration and pass it to !HttpClient.
+ !HttpClient 4.0 requires Java 5 and will include an optional proxy selection 
mechanism
