We could simply put some kind of operation on MetaService to update its 
connection settings, which KDE could call anytime it wants. The problem just 
becomes what kind of support JOLIE must offer.

JOLIE does not currently support HTTP proxies, though that shouldn't be hard 
to implement. Connection timeouts should be easy, too. Anything else? These 
things make for good junior jobs for wanna-be JOLIE contributors, I'll make a 
list on the JOLIE website.
