(Better) Proxy support required

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem:
My problem is that openid4java uses Apache HttpClient, but doesn't set any 
proxy setting.
The HttpClient library requires that proxy settings are programmatically set.

Your suggestion to use HttpClientFactory.setProxyProperties(proxyProperties) is 
a bad idea, because the usage of a proxy depends on the transport protocol.

That's why the system properties http.proxyHost and https.proxyHost exist.

What do you see instead?
Depending on http.proxyHost an https.proxyHost, please set an proxy for every 
HTTP request at openid4j.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.5, windows and debian linux.

Please provide any additional information below.
Example settings:
 -Dhttp.proxyHost=httpProxy.company.com \
 -Dhttp.proxyPort=1080 \
 -Dhttps.proxyHost=httpsProxy.company.com \
 -Dhttps.proxyPort=1443 \

Hi guys,
any update on this?

Another interesting feature is the possibility to express the option
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=

Hi everyone,

We have recently faced the same issue.
Here's patch for r735 that enables support for proxy properties described in 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/proxies.html , i.e. 
enables usage of system-wide proxy selector java.net.ProxySelector#getDefault 

Note this patch contains incompatible changes in 
org.openid4java.util.ProxyProperties (proxyHost and proxyPort fields were 
removed to avoid ambiguity). Class usage has been reduced to specify proxy 
user/pass OR Windows-related credentials as in 
org.apache.http.auth.NTCredentials javadoc. 

Next properties were manually tested on Ubuntu 12.04 with Squid:
-Dhttp.proxyHost
-Dhttp.proxyPort
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts

Others should also work fine.
