Hi -
Unfortunately setting those parameters doesn't work for authenticating firewalls that
require usernames and passwords. There needs to be a way to provide a Proxy to
biofetch (or at least an input stream).

One other option: in Java, it's possible to set up proxies on
a per-application basis by setting some system properties, e.g.:
java -Dhttp.proxyHost=gate.derkholm.net -Dhttp.proxyPort=8088 MyApp
Or put these in a system properties file.
Other than that... yes, adding explicit proxy support to OBDA
sounds like it might be a good idea. But if so, I think it should
be done as part of the OBDA spec (option 1) rather than a unilateral
BioJava feature.
