It would be nice if we could change every instance of

and just link programs using that function to a special library if
required.
Wouldn't it make more sense to be able to dynamically change
proxies transparent to the application? That way application
restart wouldn't be necessary, and one OS proxy dialog would
suffice. Could one use some ipfilter magic to redirect
http traffic through a proxy? Or does running a local proxy
make more sense; it would change configuration but local apps
would always contact the local proxy.
