You can set it as metadata on your Job, the key is "UseProxy" and the value is a URL.

This is opensource. The best documentation is the source.
kio_http says:
  KURL proxy ( config()->readEntry("UseProxy") );
OK config() is a slightly complex thing which incorporates kio_httprc and job metadata.

"would load"... so you mean before it actually loads them? This doesn't seem to go
well with how KHTMLPart works. It starts loading things while parsing the HTML.
You'd need to intercept the calls to the loader I guess - which means you'd have to
start reading KHTMLPart's misc/loader.cpp for instance; and adding some hook or something there.
