JFileUpload Failed to Detect Proxy Server

[coolshot26]

I am using the JFileUpload applet to upload files to a remote site. I'm getting the following error: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

I checked the java logs and know what is the issue:

All Internet communication goes through the Proxy server. However, from the log, it doesn't seem like JFileUpload is detecting the Proxy. I've already configured the Java Control Panel to use the Browser settings and that didn't work. I changed the option in Java Control Panel to "Use Proxy Server" and explicitly entered the Proxy server and that didn't work either. I can't explicitly set the Applet parameter for proxy since the application is available outside of the internal network.

I don't know what else I'm overlooking, but I can't seem get JFileUpload to detect the proxy correctly.

Please help.

Thanks.

You may have disabled Proxy support in Java Control panel. Could you check Network settings in Control Panel-> Java -> Network? What do you have for Proxy? Direct connection?

You can also force proxy host/port through httpproxyhost/httpproxyport extra parameter:
