Josh, I don't understand why this is related to a file chooser.

Yes, the patch doesn't work for this case. I admit the proxy patch needs more work.
Again, this patch doesn't support git, either.
The initial requirement is from Saul and from build appliance for users behind a firewall to use proxy.
For what you mentioned to set up different proxies, it is easy to fix.
But for git, I also need to investigate, do you have more hints?
