Comment(by rekkanoryo):

 Looking at this log, I'm now confused.  I want to make sure I'm
 understanding your situation correctly here, so I'm going to list what my
 current interpretation of your environment is.  Please correct me as
 appropriate so I can get a complete picture of what's going on here.

 Your environment has:
  * One proxy server that handles HTTP and HTTPS, but not any IM protocols
  * One proxy server that handles IM protocols such as YMSG, but does not
 allow HTTP.
    * It's not completely clear to me given the ''whole'' discussion
 whether this IM proxy does HTTPS or not.
    * And if the IM proxy does do HTTPS, does Pidgin need to make sure to
 send the HTTP request to the HTTP proxy and the HTTPS request to this IM
 proxy, or is both HTTP and HTTPS going to the same proxy an acceptable
 implementation?
  * Each proxy is a different host with different hostnames/IP addresses

 Your original working Pidgin configuration was:
  * Your Yahoo account was configured with essentially all default values
 ("Use account proxy for SSL connections" turned off being the only default
 that's important here)
  * Your HTTP/HTTPS proxy information was configured in the
 Tools->Preferences window on the Proxy tab (or pulled in from Internet
 Explorer).
  * Your IM proxy was configured on the Yahoo account's Proxy tab.

 The reason I'm asking about this is your debug log is indicative of a
 different issue that I've not been able to find a root cause for.  That
 issue, however, is unrelated to our crappy (read: non-existant) handling
 of multiple proxy servers, but related to our proxy code being substandard
 in other ways.  Having a more complete picture of exactly what's going on
 here may be helpful in trying to fix both issues.

 Additionally, I'm assuming that when you captured the debug log you
 posted, you were using the working configuration as described above.  If
 so, can you please capture another debug log from trying to connect when
 using either Pidgin 2.7.0 or 2.7.1 and the described configuration?  (I'm
 mainly interested in seeing if you get the "authorization required"
 response from the proxy server using Pidgin 2.7.0 or 2.7.1 as well.)
