Hi Jiri

Thanks so much

To explain as well, what I am trying to do is use a specific proxy server and port for a specific website.
I had thought that a link to the CLI might be the quickest if I can get it working, If there is an easier way to configure, then I am open to suggestions. 

> 1.4.1 is outdated. If you need for some reason to stay with 1.4, please update to 1.4.2, however - please swap to 1.5. It was released few month ago, is stable, and a a lot of fixes was fixed here.

This installation is for the ATLAS experiment at CERN. For security reason, we are usually compelled to use what is available in the SLC repos, which unfortunately for me right now is 1.4.1
Below are the details:

[chlee at pc-atlas-cr-35 ~]$ rpm -qi icedtea-webName        : icedtea-web                  Relocations: (not relocatable)

Summary     : Additional Java components for OpenJDK - Java browser plug-in and Web Start implementation
Description :
The IcedTea-Web project provides a Java web browser plugin, an implementation
of Java Web Start (originally based on the Netx project) and a settings tool to
manage deployment settings for the aforementioned plugin and Web Start
implementations.

> It is long time since somebody was playing with -property switch, TBH it was forgotten to be tested, but it should be supported.

> In meantime  (before I look into it more deeply) maybe you can elaborate with -DpropertyName=value instead of -property propertyName=value and/or -Xnofork - each of those 4 (3new) combinations may lead to different results.

Essentially like this then?  javaws -verbose -Ddeployment.proxy.type=1 -Ddeployment.proxy.http.host=atlasgw-exp.cern.ch -Dproxy.http.port=3128 http://dipbrowser.web.cern.ch/dipbrowser/launch.jnlp
I seem to get the same output as with -property as can be seen below, which lead me to believe i might be using the wrong syntax or..
