Using ProxySelector to allow users to configure the proxy

[Paulo Levi]

I've just realized that i could have explained this much more cogently by
just saying: "I want to detect if i'm behind a proxy firewall".

I'm thinking of using:
InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("http://google.com");
if (address.isReachable(2000)) {
//yes
}else{
//no
}

but even google has been known to go down.
