Using network proxies with Java applications is still, after all these years, painful on Linux.
Is there a reason not to change the default value of the system property `java.net.useSystemProxies` [1] to `true`? This would still give priority to the system properties `http.proxyHost`, `ftp.proxyHost`, etc., so people who rely upon those would continue to get the proxies that they request. With this change they could also get proxies that they don’t request; e.g., if they define `http.proxyHost` but not `ftp.proxyHost` then they’d get the system proxy for the `ftp` protocol, if one is defined. How much of a problem is that likely to be? If that is a problem, would it be acceptable to ignore all system proxies if any one of the proxy-related system properties is defined? - Mark [1] https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/13/docs/api/java.base/java/net/doc-files/net-properties.html#Proxies
