 I don't think we're going to implement this. The system administrator
 or the user should set the proxy manually in machine.config as there's
 no portable way to get the default proxy address.

+I actually consider that one of the the raison d'être for 
+Java/.net/mono was to handle not portable and give application 
+programmers freedom from system "portability" concerns. For example, 
+a programmer may know where to find it under Suse but could be at 
+loss with MacOS or windows.
+
+It doesn't have to be perfect, --make it working practically and then 
+people can improve on it.
+
+This is fairly minor issue and I was intended to help keep you guys 
+to keep a tab on it. Feel free to close it as WONTFIX if you have 
+more higher priority things.
