See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/proxies.html

I too believe this is a network issue (see
https://bitbucket.org/validator/syntax/src/f370b59cb78a/relaxng/datatype/java/src/org/whattf/datatype/data/CharsetData.java#cl-54
where the connection is made to
http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets, and note that you can
make a local copy and override the URL by setting the
-Dorg.whattf.datatype.charset-registry system property; I don't know
how to set it through build.py though, as I never used it)
