[MCL-134] Minecraft Snapshot 13w17a does not use standard java proxy configurations

When launching MinecraftDev.jar with the following command.

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=[host] -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttps.proxyHost=[host] -Dhttps.proxyPort=3128 -Xmx1024m -jar MinecraftDev.jar

The launcher attempts to the connect to the internet directly while trying to download the minecraft data rather than use the specified proxies. In the old launcher, it would use the specified proxy information.

I've tried exporting the following command as well with the same results.

export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dhttp.proxyHost=[host] -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttps.proxyHost=[host] -Dhttps.proxyPort=3128'

This is probably a relatively low impact bug, but impacts users who prefer to not have a default route to the internet and force all traffic through a proxy.

--proxyUser, --proxyPass, --proxyHost, --proxyPort.

Makes sense. Are those passed to minecraftdev.jar or instead of the standard proxy setting for Java? I'm guessing you mean to pass them to the launcher. I'll test when I am back in that environment.

To the jar or app or exe, all work. Giving it more memory doesn't work however.

That worked perfectly. Thank you for the clarification. I still pass the proxy info to java in the event that there is something else that requires that info.

There is no need to, we create a proxy object and pass it around throughout the code, I rather have you find something where we failed to do that than 'masking' it by adding these properties 🙂
