Hi,
This fix involves HttpURLConnection::usingProxy.
Previously, the method would return true only once the connection was
established (once the underlying socket was connected) and would switch
back to false when as the input stream was fully read. The new
implementation checks whether an explicit proxy is set and if not, it
invokes the ProxySelector to determine if a proxy is used. This widens
the window in which the method returns a meaningful value. This is a
best-effort as it might not always be able to determine if a proxy is
actually used before the connection is established, as the ProxySelector
might return different results when connect is called.
An apinote is added to clarify the behaviour.

I'll create a CSR for this once I gathered some feedback on this solution.
The fix was tested with JCK java_net and tier 1 - 3.
