Add support for proxy chaining #11

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
There are some situations where chaining proxoid to another http proxy
would be needed.
Some proxies out there are designed to provide added features to the
standard HTTP proxy.

For instance, ziproxy is a compressing proxy. Basically it lowers image
quality and uses gzip to compress pages, hence helping in low-bandwidth
situations.
Privoxy can help with ad-filtering and protecting privacy.

Both of them can be chained together.

If you could add authenticated chaining to a given proxy it would provide
features for proxoid we could never get in the phone.

I suppose we also could use to proxy the Android Browser through proxoid
(there's a system activity that allows setting up a proxy) and get
compression and ad-filtering capabilities.

Please consider adding this feature.
