[issue296] dirmngr doesn't use http_proxy

[Bernhard Herzog]

New submission from Bernhard Herzog <bh at intevation.de>:

I'm using kontact to verify a mail that was signed with a certificate containing
a HTTP CRL Distribution point.  the environment variable http_proxy is set
correctly (tested with lynx which does use the proxy).  dirmngr doesn't use the
proxy even though in Kontacts konfiguration the "use system HTTP proxy" radio
button is selected.

Not sure whether the bug is in kontact or the backend.  The most likely reason
is that the "honor http proxy" option is not set.

Specifying an explicit http proxy with "use this proxy for HTTP requests" works
fine AFAICT.
