Yeah, I think we should support this since if you'd want pure
non-authenticated proxy access you could simply not use any authentication...

The "fix" was a bit too quick and I just pasted that without first trying it
myself and it bit me too when I tried to compile... The proper check probably
looks more like

      if(data->set.connect_only && data->state.authhost.done &&
         data->state.authproxy.done)

... but again this is untested and written straight off the top of my head.

I didn't find anything silly in there!
