[Twisted-Python] twisted WORDS and ICQ connect throug http proxy

[Daniel Henninger]

The upgraded version of oscar.py that I've been developing has socks5  
support in it, though it does not have http support as of yet.  I  
don't believe (and if anyone else knows better, please correct me)  
that the oscar.py that is included with TwistedWords right now has  
the functionality to make use of any proxy.  The reason why I'm not  
sure of this is that I'm not sure if there might be a way "as is" to  
wrap ClientCreator or something along those lines in a proxy handler  
that I'm not aware of.  (and if there is, someone please let me know,  
I've got a few folk who are interested in using an http proxy with  
oscar.py)  I simply haven't gotten around to it yet.  =/

Speaking of which, I really need to find some time to document what  
I've got, create some test cases, and submit an update to oscar.py.   
Considering how large it's gotten, I'm actually aiming to split it up  
into an oscar subdirectory.

Anyway, feel free to contact me directly with some questions if you'd  
like.
