We distribute Marble 0.8.0 with our software.  One of the sales team was demonstrating Marble in South Africa, however the wikipedia links were not working.  Turns out that the network has a proxy server.  

Whilst they managed to get the software working by setting the proxy settings in Marble, it would be awesome if Marble did the work for them using the systemProxyForQuery function:

QNetworkProxyQuery npq(QUrl("http://www.google.com"));
QList<QNetworkProxy> listOfProxies = QNetworkProxyFactory::systemProxyForQuery(npq);



Reproducible: Didn't try

Hi,

sounds like a great idea.

Could you possibly send a patch? Most of our developers are not behind a proxy, so if you could send a patch that works for you that would be ideal. :)
