 The plugin installer builds its own QHttp object, so it's not using
the QgsHttpTransaction stuff in the core that I guess you are talking
about. Hence the proxy isn't set. QHttp needs the proxy set for each
QHttp object, there's no global settings (as far as I can see).

 I suppose if the QgsHttpTransaction stuff is exposed to python then
that would be the way to go for asynchronous http transfers.

 I've only got 0.10.0 at the moment so can't test it anyway :)
