Bug in URLConnection?

[Paulo Levi]

The problem is that the proxyselector is being called at all. I have a real
use case where i use the proxy selector to request proxy information for the
user. To do that i have to make a (very dirty) url connection to a set of
sites one of which i assume to be always up.
This is recursive. To avoid that recursion i thought i could use that call,
since the javadoc states:

"Same as openConnection(), except that the connection will be made through
the specified proxy; Protocol handlers that do not support proxing will
ignore the proxy parameter and make a normal connection. Calling this method
*preempts the system's default ProxySelector settings.* "

I can and do avoid it with a object boolean, but i thought you should know.
