RFR [9] 8085785: sun/net/www/protocol/http/ZoneId.java timeout intermittently

[Mark Sheppard]

Hi Chris,
    this looks good  ... so the server now listens on wildcard and the 
client uses IPv6 loopback as the destination address.
The use of NO_PROXY, is good. I wouldn't have thought of that, and in 
the past, Tests have experienced firewall issues on
linux and macos perviously without this setting.

regards
Mark
