My favourised solution would be that TM takes over the system proxy out of OS X's "Location"s.
The proxy information is in /Library/Preferences/ SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist, but it lists all the network interfaces and I'm not sure how to tell which one will be used.
There is a Support/bin/proxy_config command which I made to dump the proxy settings, and it was my intent to make the various bundle commands use this (preferably through some wrapper -- I wonder why curl and friends are not modified on OS X to use the system wide proxy settings?).
Yup, sucks definitely.
Unfortunately this user/pass/port is not enough for some proxies (where you login or have auto config/discovery or something like that). I don’t have a proxy myself, and I have no experience with them, so this project to update the bundles to support proxies, quickly stranded.
I have been working with different proxies (squid, cacheflow, ms proxy) for quite a while, and I always only needed hostname:port to connect to them. I guess having user:pass@host:port in the bundles solves the proxy madness in around 80% of the cases - might be worth continuing on this track.
