Setproxy Task
Sets Java's web proxy properties, so that tasks and code run in the same JVM can have through-the-firewall access to remote web sites, and remote ftp sites.
Apache Ant
 
Description
Sets Java's web proxy properties, so that tasks and code run in the same JVM can have through-the-firewall access to remote web sites, and remote ftp sites. You can nominate an http and ftp proxy, or a socks server, reset the server settings, or do nothing at all.

Examples

<setproxy/>
do nothing
<setproxy proxyhost="firewall"/>
set the proxy to firewall:80
<setproxy proxyhost="firewall" proxyport="81"/>
set the proxy to firewall:81
<setproxy proxyhost=""/>
stop using the http proxy; don't change the socks settings
<setproxy socksproxyhost="socksy"/>
use socks via socksy:1080
<setproxy socksproxyhost=""/>
stop using the socks server.

You can set a username and password for http with the proxyHost and proxyPassword attributes. On Java1.4 and above these can also be used against SOCKS5 servers.
