@ Mark. Nice. Julian's code is much cleaner than what I had, but uses the same base classes.
@Bill e
Really not sure. My environment didn't have a proxy to contend with. However, Julian's class takes proxy config into account, so there apparently is a way to deal with it. If you're buliding something that may one day migrate to an AIX server, I'd go with the java approach. We are going to run smack into that here with some win32 server side dependencies soon.
