Comment 114 for bug 304889

Small update.

Some Telepathy CM's such as gabble (XMPP) and butterfly (MSN) now have some proxy support, however, they depend on libproxy doing the right thing (which it usually doesn't). So essentially they still don't work.

A more generic solution should be implemented in GLib, however, they are reluctant to provide HTTP Connect support because it's "unsafe" (no idea what they are smoking).

So, as usual with anything GLib, there's progress, but it will take a long long time before it actually works.
