libproxy should specify the type of proxy it is using ie: SOCKS(4|5), HTTP,
etc.

Please provide any additional information below.

Currently it is outside the scope of libproxy to actually make the connection 
to a
proxy.  libproxy reads various configuration sources and algorithmically 
determines
which proxies to use.  This information is returned by the
px_proxy_factory_get_proxies() function.  Each of the proxies returned is 
returned as
a URI with the scheme portion of the URI representing the type of proxy 
specified. 
Thus, and http proxy would look like "http://proxy.company.com:8080" while a 
socks5
proxy would look like this "socks5://proxy.company.com:8080".

We may at some point add a px_proxy_factory_open_socket(char *url) function 
which
handles all the proxy connection code.  However, that is probably post-1.0.
