Gast.jar is not working behind a web proxy, installation and configuration fails.

[truk70]

When installing the geonetwork 2.4, after unpacking, the installer starts gast.jar a Error message raises: ConnectException Connection timed out:connect

When gast.jar ist started manually, it exits with the same error message. Running wireshark as shows, that gast tries to open a connection to IP 209.235.245.73 which resolves as mortbay.org, the home-site of jetty.

Our desktop computers, as well as servers are behind a web proxy. But even using -Dhttp.proxyHost=<ourproxy> didn't resolve the problem.

gast.jar with -DTRACE=true gave:

C:\Programme\geonetwork24\gast>java -Dhttp.proxy=proxy.unibe.ch -DTRACE=true -jar gast.jar java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
