You could lazy-load the library when you need to access a URL, but the
point is that your app shouldn't have to know how to handle proxies or
check settings: it just asks the library to handle them.

From what I understood, libproxy only allows your to know which proxy to connect to for reaching a specific resource, not how to handle the proxy, as you are supposed to handle them yourself.
