Is the ConnectionConfiguration#ProxyInfo ignored by the Connection class?

Hi,

I am trying to connect through a proxy.

After reading the code, it seems, that the proxy information in my ConnectionConfiguration class is ignored:

if (config.getSocketFactory() == null) {

                    this.socket = new Socket(host, port);

                }

                else {

                    this.socket = config.getSocketFactory().createSocket(host, port);

                }

Obviously the socket can't connect and an UnknownHostException is thrown.

Then searching for accessors to the configuration's proxyInfo field yields zero results.

So I suspect the value is written but never read/used!?

Any clarification on this issue is appreciated!
