Comment:

 We require it for two reasons - one is to ensure that the proxy is set,
 just in case something horrible happens that expects only an HTTP proxy;
 the other is because gpg with Enigmail is just that horrible thing and it
 requires an HTTP proxy.

 I want to keep the HTTP proxy requirement as long as GPG lacks SOCKS5
 support.
