(Get the code!)
Rage will not help this bug to be solved...
I really thing the issues all devs have with Proxy stuff should be dealt with at a lower level. (Apple is making a lot of things like this easier recently with it's new system APIs for example, and in android apps don't have to bother either with proxy support starting fron API 11 )
I have suggested that proxy settings could be configured and no longer handled by a preference global variable but by enforcing network communications through it. (in NetworkManager ??? there is a bug open for it and a blueprint, why not contributing to it ?)
If you type "proxy issue" in launchpad, you can see a lot of bugs yet to be fixed.
I'm not saying this bug should not be fixed, I just say that if a lot of devs are already putting efforts to fix this in individual apps there should be a discussion to include a management of proxy settings at a lower level (just like we do for vpn connexions and stuff like this...)
