   That's a security hole, IIRC Batik does it right, you should set the
proxy server as "http://proxy.host.ch"; With "8080" in the port field.
Then when you next start batik and try to hit a web site it will pop-up
a window asking for your username and password.

   It's been a while but I used to do that.
