[Qt-interest] adding HTTP Proxy support

[Paul Miller]

I have an application that downloads some data from a web site using 
QNetworkAccessManager::post().

I want to add proxy support, so I've added some UI that allows the user 
to enter a hostname, port, username, and password, and then sets the 
proxy using QNetworkAccessManager::setProxy(). The proxy type is Http.

I'm trying to test this, and it's not working. I installed squid on a 
Linux box and verified that it works by setting the proxy settings (just 
host and port) in Firefox. I'm entering the same information into my 
QNetworkProxy object and my QNetworkReply is coming back very quickly 
with "HTTP request failed".

Any suggestions? The documentation makes it sound like this is all I 
need to do.
