 I don't know if this is really a bug or an enhancement request. In my
 situation it is a bug - a real problem.

 I have to to use a proxy to access http resources. For external WMS I need
 to use a proxy (with user/password). However, for local WMS (for a certain
 IP range) I don't want to use the proxy. It would not even work with a
 proxy for my local WMS connections (maybe the admin did a broken proxy
 configuration?)

 My request is therefore that for each WMS and DB connection there should
 be a checkbox (use proxy or not). Default would be without proxy. We could
 still make use of the global proxy configuration as described in
 https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/changeset/8649 - usually there is only one
 proxy, so a disable/enable per connection should work.

 Thank you for having a look at my request!
