Support HTTP and SOCKS proxies

[yardenac]

Needs basic support for network proxying

[urandom2]

as a workaround, I have found torify works quite well for socksifying pickups/hangups; it is also worth considering that since hangups is making the actual network connections this issue should be filed against that product.

[tdryer]

hangups supports proxying through the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.

@tdryer: is there any support for socks proxies?

[tdryer]

No, only HTTP proxies.

[urandom2]

could we use this issue to track socks proxy support, should I open another issue for that, or are they not feasable?

[tdryer]

SOCKS may not be feasible, but we can use this issue to track both.
