Review request for kdelibs.


Changes
-------

Moved the code that checks for "PersistentProxyConnection" flag to sendQuery.


Description
-------

This 5th patch in a serious of patches meant to improve proxy support in KDE deals with support at the kioslave level. More specifically the http ioslave. The patch is necessary to provide proper support for PAC script based proxy configuration. Namely allowing aleternate proxy servers to be specified and used as necessary. Here are the change this patch makes:

     * Add a new function in TCPSlaveBase to connect to the a remote server without 
        automatically sending error notitification to the client. [NEW API]
    
     * Move the proxy related code from 'resetSessionSettings' to 'httpOpenConnection'.
       Proxy information will now be only set from 'setHost' and reset from 
       'reparseConfiguration' as it should have been from the beginning. No need to 
       reparse proxy related information on every request.
    
     * Added a new variable, proxyUrls, to HTTPRequest to store the multiple proxy URLs
        obtained from the "ProxyUrls" meta-data.
    
     * Modified 'httpShouldCloseConnection' to account for multiple proxy addresses.
    
     * Modified 'sendQuery' to connect to the remote server before formatting the HTTP
       headers so that the headers can properly reflect the correct proxy settings.
