Consider proxy settings for URL-based task scanner

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When implementing code for issue 21, please consider the proxy setting of 
Eclipse in General > Network Connections. You find information about how to 
implement this in 
http://torkildr.blogspot.com/2008/10/connecting-through-proxy.html. It 
shouldn't be too hard to achieve, because you are already relying on 
HttpUrlConnection, which allows to give explicit proxy settings.

Seems reasonable. This is configured by General > Network Settings?

Nit on the code sample: while loop with 1-second sleep cycles? Really?

Within Eclipse Preferences you find the settings in General -> Network 
Connections. A probably better example is in 
http://kenai.com/projects/ete/sources/svn/content/ete/trunk/ch.netcetera.eclipse
.common/src/ch/netcetera/eclipse/common/net/AbstractHttpClient.java?rev=687. It 
uses the HttpClient of Apache internally, but I think you can also easily adapt 
the code to just use HttpUrlConnection.

It's hard to tell if this is actually an issue. Can you please let me know if 
it is?

For me right now it isn't an issue. But lots of people have to use a proxy to 
access HTTP(S) resources. 
My usecase was, to have the rules checked into SVN. These rules can be accessed 
via HTTPS but only via a proxy if I am within the corporate network.
