This keeps the code consistent, provides a single common method for setting
up URLConnections, and allows the proxy support to work on all network
connections.
NetworkUtils.getHttpURLConnection() provides a common method for creating
HttpUrlConnection instances from URLs. That's where the proxy config
happens. If you can think of a better way to add proxy support, I'm all
ears. This is the best that we've found in our proxy work at Guardian
Project.
