A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
if System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "false") is called
after proxy details have been set, then
HttpURLConnection.geyOutputStream times out. It seems to
ignore proxySet=false.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Start something listening on a port on the local host,
e.g. using netcat "nc -l -p 10090"
 
2. Run the sample code, with the FQDN for local host
specifying the correct port in the URL.

java ProxyTest http://myhost.myorg.com:10090/somepath false
my.local.proxy 80

3.the client does not get the connection, it seems still go
via the proxy server event through proxySet=false.

4. Try the command (2) again but without the proxy details.
e.g. java ProxyTest http://myhost.myorg.com:10090/somepath

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
That
{
 System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "false");
 System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", "proxy.myorg.com");
 System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", "80");
}
be the same as not setting proxy* at all


This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Setting the proxyHost & Port to an empty string seems to work.


System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", "");
