Unable to upload file using httpclient with Proxy support

Question

I am working on a uploader class which will use the system's proxy settings to upload the files. In IE, if i enable the proxy settings, upload is not happening. Its stucked at the following line

 System.out.println("Now uploading your file into bayfiles.com");
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

If i disable the proxy settings, then file is successfully uploaded. I dont know hat is the reason. Can anybody explain me why this happening?

Then one more doubt. Though upload is working if i disable the proxy settings, login to the site is not working. Is there anything wrong in the code? Correct me if I am wrong,

Thanks.

My code is as follows,

public class BayFilesUploaderPlugin {

    private static URL u;
    private static HttpURLConnection uc;
    private static BufferedReader br;
    private static String tmp;
    private static String postURL;
    private static File file;
    private static String uploadresponse;
    private static String downloadlink;
    private static String deletelink;
    private static String sessioncookie;
    private static boolean login = false;
    private static String proxy_address;
    private static String proxy_host = "myproxy.mydomain.com";
    private static String proxy_port = "8080";

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

//        java.net.ProxySelector.setDefault(new MyProxySelector(ProxySelector.getDefault()));
        System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true");
//        Proxy next = ProxySelector.getDefault().select(new URI("http://www.google.com/")).iterator().next();
//
//        if (next.address() != null) {
//            proxy_address = next.address().toString();
//            proxy_host = proxy_address.substring(0, proxy_address.indexOf(":"));
//            proxy_port = proxy_address.substring(proxy_address.indexOf(":") + 1);
//
//            System.out.println("Host : " + proxy_host);
//            System.out.println("Port : " + proxy_port);
//            System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", proxy_host);

//        }




        // 

        System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", proxy_host);
        System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", proxy_host);
        System.setProperty("https.proxyPort", proxy_port);
        System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", proxy_port);

        initialize();

        fileUpload();


    }

        String k = "";
        while ((tmp = br.readLine()) != null) {

I solve a similar problem using the default proxy selector:

DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

ProxySelectorRoutePlanner routePlanner = new ProxySelectorRoutePlanner(
     httpclient.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry(),
     ProxySelector.getDefault());

httpclient.setRoutePlanner(routePlanner);
