Comment:

 Replying to [comment:5 nigel@…]:
 > 1. I wanted to add proxy support for CDDB lookups many years ago, but
 that required a different way to do the lookups. When (if?) !HttpComms is
 used for that, '''''it''''' should be the location for doing proxy-
 compatible stuff?
 > 2. My gut feeling is that using an environment variable is a little
 clumsy - I would have preferred a setting from the database, but then that
 is just another thing that needs a settings UI.
 > 3. Mac OS X and Windows supposedly have hooks to look up the system
 proxy settings via QNetworkProxyFactory::systemProxyForQuery(). I find it
 hard to believe that the Linux environments don't have a standard proxy
 setting location these days?
 > 4. Now that the backend also does HTTP traffic, it also needs to set
 proxy "environment"s?
 > Paul, my work has a few corporate proxies - I'm happy to take this is
 you don't have any burning desire.

 I have no use for this so you're welcome to it :)
