IOException is hidden by HttpConnectSocketImpl.doTunneling

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_112"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b15, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
With "6370908: Add support for HTTP_CONNECT proxy in Socket class"
new code for proxy handling was introduced.

In case an IOException is thrown during tunnel phase (e.g. "HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required") then an Error is thrown.

This is caused by wrong implementation of reflection callings in

java.net.HttpConnectSocketImpl.doTunneling(HttpURLConnection)

as there should the InvokationTargetException be caught and in case it is an IOException it should extract it and throw.

For evaluation see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40921296/java-proxy-authentication-ioexception-not-being-thrown/

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Connect with a Socket with a proxy which requires an user/password but do not set an java.net.Authenticator.

Proxy tempProxy = new Proxy(Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(config.getProxyHost(), Integer.valueOf(config.getProxyPort())));
Socket tempTargetSocket = new Socket(tempProxy);

tempTargetSocket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(tempHost, Integer.valueOf(tempPort)));



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
java.io.IOException: Unable to tunnel through proxy. Proxy returns "HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required"
ACTUAL -
java.lang.InternalError: Should not reach here

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
wrapp each connect with

try {
tempTargetSocket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(tempHost, Integer.valueOf(tempPort)));
} catch (Error e) {
if (e.getCause() instanceof InvocationTargetException) {
InvocationTargetException tempInvocationTargetException = (InvocationTargetException)e.getCause();
if (tempInvocationTargetException.getTargetException() instanceof IOException) {
// Extract the original IOException, see
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40921296/java-proxy-authentication-ioexception-not-being-thrown/
throw (IOException)tempInvocationTargetException.getTargetException();
}
}
// rethrow the original error
throw e;
}
