Yeah, that'll stop auto-configuration, or any of the Java settings.
What needs to happen is the HttpClient's host configuration should be set to
the right values. Something along the lines of

client.getHostConfiguration().setProxy(proxyHost,proxyPort);

On Java 5.0 you can use ProxySelector to figure out what values to use. On
older Javas you kind of have to rely on two environment vars which the
browser plugin may or may not have setup correctly. I don't know what the
applet's java target version is these days.
