HTTP Connect proxy has not been accepted by GLib maintainers. Argument was that
it most likely will reduce connectivity as most sysadmin configure their proxy
to only accept proxied port to be 443. The code in Wocky is the code that was
supposed to be in GLib (very few changes aside namespace). This might be
reconsidered later.
