JDK-8292530 - The default ProxySelector should take into account http_proxy/https_proxy/no_proxy environment variables
Description
On Gnome 2.x & Windows users can set proxies for http, ftp, etc.. as part of their desktop "Preferences". The DefaultProxySelector should default to these settings if no java specific system properties (e.g.: http.proxyHost) are set.
This is important for integration of java applications with Desktop Environments.

EVALUATION Need to add native code to the currently pure java DefaultProxySelector. Also, it is somewhat of a change in behavior and could have compatibilities issue. Should examine carefuly, but will consider for Tiger as it is a needed feature, in one form or an other, for the recent desktop environments. ###@###.### 2003-09-17
