Yes.

It's still missing one key functionality: buffered sockets. I won't have 
time to code till next week, but I promise to do it as soon as 
possible.

KSocks integration is also a must, but we can do without for a while.

Yes, it should. Needless to say, it's very raw and not thoroughly 
tested. I did try one HTTP proxy server at home and I managed to make 
existing code retrieve the webpage from www.kde.org through a proxy.

If you must know what I did, I made an LD_PRELOADed library that sets 
the default KSocketDevice factory to HTTP proxying if the http_proxy 
environment variable was found. I will write code to initialise this 
socket code from KInstance (i.e., read the proxy configuration from 
kdeglobals).

It cannot do any authentication yet, but feel free to commit code to do 
that.
