That's needed, of course.
I have only put some options quickly into KProtocolManager for ftp and http
proxy.

BTW, will anybody take a look into ftp-proxy slave ?
Some code is there in kioslave/ftp, but I am really not an expert on this.
In KDE 1.1, ftp-proxy protocol is a subclass of http protocol.
I don't think that we could use a same approach now, or could we ?
