Autoproxy cannot resolve the proxy without a JavaScript engine, that
would be way too bulky to bundle into a library so it needs to be a
service.  One service was created but no effort seems to have pushed it
beyond initial release:

If you want to do the chasing I suggest logging bugs around the APIs,
presumably something like libsoup.  The main bug report is bug 123900 at
Gnome about gnome-vfs not actually any library or API.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query=automatic+proxy

This is hindered as libcurl & neon are more popular HTTP client
libraries which grab proxy information from the environment, i.e.
http_proxy, ftp_proxy, and all_proxy, and does not support autoproxy
configuration.
