The proxy can be specified on "proxy" property from the applications pov.

Still the code is a bit weird.

1.) the "proxy" property is by default ""
2.) _init() initializes it from getenv("http_proxy")
3.) in _set_properties() we forbid to pass NULL

The only way the app can avoid the use of the anv-var is to unset it early.

Regarding comment #1. libsoup is *not* handling the environment and configured
proxies itself. For that one has to use libsoup-gnome, get a
SoupProxyResolverGNOME and pass that to libsoup.
