Can I get the following webrev reviewed please?

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~michaelm/7132699/webrev.1/ On Mac, we read the system proxy settings and by default the system sets a proxy bypass list. Unfortunately, this default list doesn't contain some entries (like localhost) which we depend on to be bypassed. So, the fix is to include our own default list together with any additional ones provided by the system. I think looks okay and should be safe to use on all platforms (meaning the startsWith("Mac OS") check can be removed).

It would be good to get this fix quickly too as that will resolve test failures all over the map that stem from http connections to localhost.
