Hi Colin,

There are problems with using proxy support as the proxy source is
designed mainly for web proxy and not for proxying generic requests.
Most corporations will only proxy web anyways so this proxy will fail
miserably or only work for web and nothing else making the protocol
useless. We need to rethink how to do this or alow a split. I.e. only
web or only protocols. Plus they may use different servers for each,
etc.
That is if a socks proxy is not in use.
