One thing I am proposing is, let our concerns heard in the community and ask developers to make their product proxy aware.

This part of the code should not be difficult to write. Let's take initiative to do the following things:

1. Identify what apps cannot be run without proxy support in our N900/N810 etc.. So far The One Ring, DialCentral, system's app manager, gPodder, etc.

2. Get resouces to help with the issue and write generic codes to deal with proxy so other app developers can easily plug it into their apps.

Many of us here are developers so if anyone is familiar with proxy support for those apps, please chime in.

Thanks.
