Answer 1

It seems to me, that you are not using your Proxy instance at all. I think you should pass it when you are creating URLConnection instance:

URLConnection connection=url.openConnection(proxy);

Setting of environment properties http.proxy is easier and when using some 3rd party libraries without Proxy instance passing support only possible solution, but its drawback is that it is set globally for the whole process.
