 Replying to [comment:6 datallah]:
 > That said, it actually isn't clear whether or not libproxy is even
 reasonable to use with something like Pidgin that does direct TCP/IP
 communication of arbitrary protocols - the API which does the proxy lookup
 requires a '''URL''' that you're connecting to.  What would that be for
 our cases that aren't http connections?  Would "xmpp://talk.google.com" be
 reasonably expected to work?

 Of course that would work, how do you think people use libproxy?
