I agree that, that is the right to do. I will add it to my task list.

http_proxy env variable is handled transparently by the transport
library - except that only libcurl honors it whereas libsoup ignores it
in. I'm not sure what the rationale for that is.

If available, then we use libsoup-gnome, which gets proxy settings
automatically from the central GNOME settings. This is how it works in
Moblin.

It certainly would be nice to have support for http_proxy as in many
other apps. Should we add support for it on top of libsoup/libcurl? In
SyncConfig::getUseProxy(), return TRUE if http_proxy is set and
non-empty, FALSE if it is set and empty, otherwise return the configured
value. In SyncConfig::getProxyHost(), return the value of http_proxy if
set, otherwise the configured value.
