http.proxyHost doesn't work for me

[Steven Gollery]

I have read all the messages on this list that refer to problems 
accessing remote web pages through a firewall. Based on this 
information, I've added -Dhttp.proxySet=true 
-Dhttp.proxyHost=my.proxy.host -Dhttp.proxyPort=portnum to the 
CATALINA_OPTS in the catalina.bat file.

This still doesn't work.

I can write a standalone Java program that runs from the command line 
with the same proxy settings, and it works just fine. But when I move 
the same code into a servlet, the servlet can't access the network. So 
http.proxyHost and so on are correct, but within Tomcat it doesn't work.

Since no one else is having this problem, it is likely that this is 
something about the configuration of our network. If anyone can suggest 
what might be causing this, I would have something that I could take to 
the sys admins here.

Thanks.
