To go through an HTTP proxy with Apache SOAP 2.3.1, your client code must create an
instance of SOAPHTTPConnection, call setProxyHost, setProxyPort and (optionally)
setProxyUserName and setProxyPassword, then call call#setTransport to use this
instance.
For the nightly build of Apache SOAP and, I believe, any version of Axis, one uses
System properties. For example,
java -Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=myproxyport me.MyClient
The http.proxyHost, etc., system properties follow Sun's standards.
