===================================

Desktop+:
Proxy support for:
 * ubuntuone-login (oauth desktop)
 * ubuntuone-preferences
 * tomboy (?)
 * desktopcouch
 * couchdb (contracted from couch.io, may be deferred)
Everything else: chicharra :)

===================================

Misc Notes:

Resumable upload does not work as expected. Basically, uploads can not be resumed. The work needed to make them resumable is not clear but will surely involved client and server side fixes.
Lucio's team has this feature as a work item, but it's not committed to Maverick.
