Thanks for your reply... I've asked because I wanted to suggest my patch and I 
didn't know if this problem was solved already - I don't have access to svn, 
so I can't check latest build.

Here is my patch. It's somewhat "quick and dirty" too, so I don't think it 
will go to mainstream, but I think it's a good starting point.
Manual proxy configuration works, https handling works, autoconfiguration 
works too (PAC at least)...

I have an idea how to make socks work. I'll try it today.
