           Summary: web service actor does not work through proxy
           Product: Kepler

          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: general

The run script does not set up the java proxy settings, so anything that needs
to connect to the internet through http fails.

I had to edit kepler.sh to be the following:
java -Xmx512m -Xss5m -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
-DKEPLER="$KEP" -DKEPLER_DOCS="$KEP"
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=./lib/jar/base-jars/apache -Djava.library.path=./lib
org.kepler.loader.Kepler $*

However, this needs a more elegant solution, such as an environment variable,
to allow the user to set this.
