I'm trying to connect to http://opendatakit.appspot.com/ behind a proxy server. Getting following stack-trace. I suspect this is due to the proxy.

Is briefcase suppose to work behind a proxy?

org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to opendatakit.appspot.com:80 [opendatakit.appspot.com/74.125.138.153, opendatakit.appspot.com/2607:f8b0:4002:c0c:0:0:0:99] failed: Network is unreachable (connect failed)

I think it's a good idea for Briefcase to be usable behind a proxy. Can you please do some research and propose how we fix this!

Appspot instances require https (port 443).
The web server will trigger a hard redirect.
The connection layer is likely not detecting and handling that.

Thanks @mitchellsundt for the hint. I'm looking in to this

@yanokwa @mitchellsundt Adding following before the HttpClient creation worked. :-) Now the problem is how can we allow user to set these properties up? Via settings tab may be ?

HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("PROXY_HOST", PROXY_PORT, "http");
DefaultProxyRoutePlanner routePlanner = new DefaultProxyRoutePlanner(proxy);
CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom() .setRoutePlanner(routePlanner) .build();

Thanks for taking the lead on this and checking the following hint AND mocking up the UI! That's exactly the kind of initiative that we need!

I think settings is the natural place for the proxy, but how does this work across platforms or with Java installs that already have proxy settings? For example, OS X already has proxy settings. And Java lets you set proxy settings. Is this how most cross-platform Java apps do things?

@yanokwa I think the settings in link you attached only applies for java applets. But for cross-platform JVM based apps, you need to configure the proxy settings.
An example would be, Eclipse which doesn't work behind a proxy until you set the proxy settings

This is looking good to me, @rclakmal! Please send in a PR when you are ready.

@yanokwa Just to let you know, I have started on this already. But it takes bit more time than I expected due to me having access to proxy network only for a limited time in a day :-) ...Will send the PR by tomorrow
