FWIW, I think the GNOME way of doing this is to go through libproxy.
This has integration at the gio level (GProxy/GProxyAddress) and at
the libsoup level. The GNOME plugin for libproxy looks at the relevant
GConf keys and will do more complicated things like PAC (requires a JS
engine).

I can't quite remember the details about what's needed to make libsoup
respect the proxy settings (or if anything is needed at all),
hopefully that's the right direction though.
