Comment(by mikeperry):
Hrmm, without HTTP, the use of this test is limited to applications where
we can create pure sockets and specify the proxy settings for them.
Moreover, even where full TCP socket support is provided, this makes
testing harder, as you're no longer exercising the same codepaths that
your application normally uses by default.
For example, XPCOM's TCP sockets in Firefox do not use your browser's
actual proxy settings values. You have to explicitly specify the proxy you
want for each TCP connection. While you can in theory pull the proxy
settings values from about:config and explicitly specify them for the test
connection, this will fail in cases where users have installed filter
addons like FoxyProxy, which can alter proxy behavior for specific HTTP
requests on the fly...
