I just realised web proxy support would be much preferable to SOCKSv4 (long day, very tired)...so...to alter my question....does twisted have support for proxying connections through a web proxy?
I believe Twisted doesn't support HTTP proxies of any kind. There is support for SOCKSv4 in twisted.protocols.socks, but it's not immediately evident to me how it works. It seems to me that in an ideal world, there would be some kind of Proxy class available that would look much like a reactor to the outside world, but contain all the logic for reading proxy settings from the OS and making outgoing connections via those configured proxies. One day, if I get far enough down my list of potential weekend projects, I might even do it myself.
