/**
 * Selects the proxy server to use, if any, when connecting to the
 * network resource referenced by a URL. A proxy selector is a
 * concrete sub-class of this class and is registered by invoking the
 * {@link java.net.ProxySelector#setDefault setDefault} method. The
 * currently registered proxy selector can be retrieved by calling
 * {@link java.net.ProxySelector#getDefault getDefault} method.
 *
 * <p> When a proxy selector is registered, for instance, a subclass
 * of URLConnection class should call the {@link #select select}
 * method for each URL request so that the proxy selector can decide
 * if a direct, or proxied connection should be used. The {@link
 * #select select} method returns an iterator over a collection with
 * the preferred connection approach.
 *
 * <p> If a connection cannot be established to a proxy (PROXY or
 * SOCKS) servers then the caller should call the proxy selector's
 * {@link #connectFailed connectFailed} method to notify the proxy
 * selector that the proxy server is unavailable. </p>
 *
 * <P>The default proxy selector does enforce a
 * <a href="doc-files/net-properties.html#Proxies">set of System Properties
 * related to proxy settings.</P>
