We have no infrastructure for setting proxies individually for 
applications, so I have no idea why you would want that. We need that 
infrastructure first -- then KIO can automatically set the proxies on a 
per-application basis.

In the case of Kopete or KMail, it should even be done on a per-account 
basis (for example, you may want to use KDE's global SOCKS5 proxy setting 
for some SMTP and POP3 servers, but not for the ones in your local 
network). This has been on my TO-DO list for years, but I doubt I will 
implement it for KDE 4.

That said, however, kio_http retrieves its proxy setting from the 
metadata "UseProxy". If that is set, it should contain a valid URL with 
the proxy's host, port, username and password. See function 
HTTPProtocol::resetSessionSettings in kio_http.
