Stumbled upon this when starting testing at work: It is a bit of a pain changing proxy.use=on to proxy.use=true when testing between Tomcat versions behind a proxy. I propose to drop the proxyflags target and use the 'if' attribute on setproxy. I'll prepare a PR for that. This change is backwards compatible because the if attribute also accepts on as far as I can see.
This requires Ant 1.8.0+ and we require Ant 1.8.2 in BUILDING.txt, so this should be safe to do.
Fixed in: - 7.0.x for 7.0.97 onwards
