Right, but as Maxim has noted, the proxy code is there to allow users
to browse to online docs, so it can't just be disabled.

This likely worked in 1.3 as that used QtWebEngine (which had a bunch
of other issues). We need to fix it for QtWebKit, so that it honors
the bypass proxy for local addresses option.
