Comment 44 for bug 259830

It's pretty much unusable here in Iran as they filtered facebook, twiter, flicker, etc.
I even tried to setup a transparent (intercepting) proxy and then connect to facebook with gwibber running on a machine behind this proxy but facebook authentication needs https and as you know there's no way making https work with transparent proxy (Man in the middle attack).
I read all the python sources and ended up knowing that it's almost impossible to make webkit module for python to use proxy.
Well after all I wanna kindly mention that for us (who live in a country with huge usage of filtering like Iran, China, etc) it'd be nice if Ubuntu and softwares made in it's community give a full support for proxy services.

BTW it's getting two months :)
