Gotchya - the use of WebKit makes sense and explains why I see that one 
working a-ok.

I have tried to report this before, specifically the lack of proxy HTTP 
auth in the AvantGo module, seeing that's the only one I really care 
about. The response was "It doesn't support proxy auth, it won't support 
proxy auth, have you looked at the open-source Malsync conduit?". I gave 
up at that point. *shrug
