Summary	5281: Improved proxy server support
Description	Our downloaders support HTTP proxies, but this is just not great because: 1) SOCKS5. Someone might have to use a SOCKS5 proxy (a much better proxy as it supports pass-through HTTPS and is much more efficient than an HTTP proxy) 2) HTTPS proxy. Someone might want to connect to an HTTP proxy server using HTTPS (i.e. the connection between the web server and the proxy) 3) HTTPS websites. Someone might want to connect to an HTTPS site via an HTTP proxy (we do not support this in our HTTP proxy implementation, except when cURL is used, as it requires the 'CONNECT' extension and really is a bit of a hack that requires lower-level stuff) Ideally we would add support for configuring CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE via a new config option. If this was configured some of the existing downloaders would need to be disabled because we are not going to support all this stuff outside of cURL.
