Most commonly used ? I don't think many XMPP client implementation have
implemented BOSH, and HTTP Connect over non 443 port rarely works. So let's
remember that HTTP proxy is mostly for Google Talk which provide direct TLS on
port 443 (which is non-standard hack to simulate what would happen when doing
HTTPS connection).

Anyway, let's not confuse our users more. SOCKSv5/4/4a is upstream GLib 2.26
(requires glib-networking 2.26 to be installed too) and HTTP Connect support
has been merged into Wocky (the XMPP library used by Gabble) this week.

This means, the next version of Gabble 0.10.X will support SOCKS and HTTP
Connect proxy. Special code has been added in Google Talk account profiles to
enable fallback to port 443 and use of HTTPS proxy settings, which should
improve connectivity in HTTP proxied network.
