I'm looking at a the support of the proxies in the site:deploy goal.

I discovered a few strange things, and I would like to have some explanation
on the proxy support philosophy.

In maven settings, we have the possibility to define multiple proxies, with
their type (http, socks, etc). The DefaultWagonManager stores a map protocol
-> proxy.  By the way, I think the name protocol -> proxy is misleading.  It
should be proxy_type -> proxy. 

I also notice that the DefaultMaven (who fill the DefaultWagonManager) only
pass the first active proxy found in the settings.

So basically, I wonder if maven should really support multiple active
proxies.  And if it does, what's the logic behind it?  When should we use
which one?

I think it should be simpler to only allow one proxy active at a time.  What
was the rational to have more than one proxy configurable in the settings?


Thanks,

SCOKART Gilles
