  plugin finder wizard and apturl don't use the same http proxy

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubufox

  the plugin finder wizard and apturl don't share the same proxy
  information.

  1. The short term solution to fix gutsy is to pass a --http-proxy
  host:port parameter to apturl if firefox has any proxy configured.

  2. The long term solution would be to all applications honour system
  proxy settings (aka gconf).

  Testcase:
   1.  ensure that your network setup does only allow access to the internet 
through http proxy
   2.  configure the http proxy in firefox
   3.  remove any flash player installed on your system
   4. visit the multi content example page: 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~asac/pfs/test/2_multicontent.html
   5. try to install the plugin through "install missing plugins ..."
   6. see how apturl doesn' honour the http proxy settings and cannot get the 
packages.
