How do I set the proxy to be used by the JVM

To set the proxy to be used by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), you can use the -Dhttp.proxyHost, -Dhttp.proxyPort, and -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts options when starting the JVM.

For example, to set the proxy host to myproxy.example.com and the proxy port to 8080, you can use the following command:

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy.example.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 MyProgram

This will set the proxy host and proxy port for the JVM.

The -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts option allows you to specify a list of host names that should not be proxied. For example:

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy.example.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="localhost|127.0.0.1" MyProgram

This will set the proxy host and proxy port for the JVM, and will also specify that the localhost and 127.0.0.1 host names should not be proxied.

Alternatively, you can set the http.proxyHost, http.proxyPort, and http.nonProxyHosts system properties in your code using the System.setProperty() method. For example:

System.setProperty
