Ah. That's what I am doing but apparently it's not working out that way, at
least according to a beta tester (from microsoft). Here's the code that I
call (amonst others) each time I'm about to send some data. As you can see,
if my own preferences settings says no proxy, it just doesn't set anything,
howevever the curl object gets left in its last state which in my case was
for http proxy.

tVOID SetCurlProxyStuff (tVOID)
{
 if (Prefs.ProxyType==PROXY_NONE)
  {
// Need to do more here as it seems to get left on if it was HTTP beforehand
  return;
  }

 // Set proxy type
 if (Prefs.ProxyType==PROXY_HTTP)
  curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE,CURLPROXY_HTTP);
 else
 if (Prefs.ProxyType==PROXY_SOCKS4)
  curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE,CURLPROXY_SOCKS4);
 else
 if (Prefs.ProxyType==PROXY_SOCKS5)
  curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE,CURLPROXY_SOCKS5);

[SNIP]
}
