proxy settings with jit.uldl and mxj.jitwebimage

one question,

is there a way to force max networking objects (specifically jit.uldl
and mxj.jitwebimage) to use the OSX system network settings?

this would be extremely useful for a performance occuring in a public
gallery space, where (as very often the case in institutional places)
comlicated proxy settings (ftp proxy + web proxy + proxy password +
automatic proxy configuration file...) are making things very
complicated.

concretely, i'm using the jit.uldl object to upload images, and the
mxj jitwebimage java object to download images. the error messages i
get from both when using them on the proxied-network make me believe
that max isn't using the system network config... is there a way to
enforce this?

specs: g4 PPC, osx 10.4.9, max 4.6.3, jitter 1.6.3

btw i observed a very strange phenomenon: the upload (via jit.uldl)
was working on another machine (macbook pro, osx.10.4.9, newest
max+jit), under max runtime, using the same patch with the same system
settings on the same network... that machine on the other hand had a
problem with the java install - on startup, the max message window
showed an erroneus filepath, such as "Macintosh HD #2" so mxj
jitwebimage wasn't working.

as soon as i fixed the filepath problem (by renaming the startup
disk..) the java worked ok, but the upload with jit.uldl stopped
working! (endless "ul_status 31" message). somehow it looks like max,
with this bad java install, was using the system network settings, and
wasn't anymore when java was working! i tried to replicate this
phenomenon by trashing the Cycling74/java folder, but still the upload
isnt working...

if anyone has a clue or solution, i would be very grateful.

best.
