The open source solution to the problem is libproxy [1]. It handles the
case of per-URL proxies (for example, accessing some hosts directly
inside a company intranet and only external ones via proxy) and proxy
changes during the runtime of a process. 

We don't have anything matching that in Tizen, at least as far as I
know. In particular, libproxy is not part of Tizen, although several
Tizen components already have support for it [2]. So all proposals are
at best package-specific workarounds for a missing distro feature.
