and PROXY=DIRECT is used.
The Exception occurs always when using RMI and sometimes when using "normal" HTTP-Conenctions

REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 7u51

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
- Configure Java Web Start to use a Proxy Auto Detection Script.
- Start an application using RMI using Java Web Start.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No Exception, Proxy is used according to script
ACTUAL -
Exception, PROXY=DIRECT

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
see above

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
