Allow proxy settings for emulator developing behind a firewall

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I sit behind a restrictive firewall and need to use a proxy with authentication 
to test within an emulator.
The DefaultHttpClient used in CloudmadeUtil, in MapTileDownloader.TileLoader 
and in GpxToPHPUploader will not reflect proxy settings.

Either try to fetch proxy settings from the network connections (if possible) 
or allow integrators to add their own instance of an HttpClient, e.g. add a 
method to MapView: 
public void setHttpClient (HttpClient client) { ...}

The HttpClient may look like

public class ProxiedHttpClient extends DefaultHttpClient {
    public ProxiedHttpClient () {
        super();
        HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(myProxyHost, myProxyPort, "http");
        this.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY,
                proxy);
        this.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
                new AuthScope(myProxyHost, myProxyPort),
                new UsernamePasswordCredentials(myUserName, myPassword));

    }
}

This is now possible via the work done in issue 432.
