Yes, we have proxy support.  However we are using our own HTTP code.
Need to look at it.  Can you please open a bug for it?

Given that a safe configuration is a bit complex, shouldn't we add a
option to enable all these configuration settings?  However it will take
some time until all deployed gpg versions have been updated - thus it
might make more sense to add this only to 2.1.
