[wsf-c-dev] better support for proxies and transport settings

[Paul Fremantle]

We absolutely need support for HTTP proxy and also the equivalent of the 
Java TRANSPORT_URL in Axis2/C and WSF/C and PHP.

Firstly, people need to call web services through firewalls - some 
companies allow zero external HTTP access without using an HTTP Proxy.

Secondly, if you want to use TCPMON with .NET you cannot just change the 
To address to point to TCPMON. .NET validates the whole of the To 
address (as opposed to Axis2 which just looks at the /ser/blah end of 
it). The result is that .NET will not accept messages with the wrong 
wsa:To address - even if its just the port that is wrong. Using the 
TRANSPORT_URL lets you change the HTTP URL without changing the wsa:To URL.
