#9488: Yahoo Connection Requires Separate Proxy Settings
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------

Component:  Yahoo!           |   Version:  2.5.7
 Keywords:  proxy            |  
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 The new method for connecting to the Yahoo! service seems to perform two
 operations, one for connecting to the communication hub
 (scsa.msg.yahoo.com:5050 or 23) and the other to authenticate
 (login.yahoo.com:443).

 Unfortunately, the current implementation uses the proxy settings for both
 connections. In my corporate environment, however, the proxy only cares
 about the call over https. Therefore, I can connect to either
 scsa.msg.yahoo.com or login.yahoo.com, but not both. Because of that,
 Pidgin can't get a token and I get no login.

 The Yahoo! Advanced tab needs a way to provide proxy settings individually
 for each connection. I'm not sure if libpurple can support such a scheme,
 but it's on my wish list.
