Hi. How can I set the SOCKS proxy for a URLConnection given by (new URL(url)).openConnection()?
Different proxies are needed on a per-connection basis, so please don't suggest setting system properties.

A:
You can try commons-httpclient:
httpClient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy(proxyHost, proxyPort);

Are you sure it will work for `SOCKS`? In the code you provided, does `httpclient` automatically recognize, whether the proxy is HTTP, SOCKS4 or SOCKS5?

If you want to use different proxy settings on a per-connection bases, you can use the Java 6.0 ProxySelector mechanism as described in Java Networking and Proxies. Specifically, read sections 3 and 4.
