Thank you for an extensive answer, esp. the dbus part!

However I was looking into settings proxy programmatically per each WebProcess independently. And I have found out that setting SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI in various places in code is ignored which left me wondering why is that so. 

And yes, libsoup is almost latest (2.43.92), and other packages in the OS are the most recent. 

Again, setting http_proxy env variable from within WebProcess works, but that is clearly a hack. Why is SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI ignored on default libsoup session?...
