User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
Joomla can't connect to update servers or any other extern URL if its webserver is behind a proxy. This is probably often the case in corporate enviroments.
This PR will add new parameters to the global configuration which allows to specify a proxy server, port, username and password.
If enabled, it will restrict JHttp to only use curl by default and curl will be told to use the proxy settings.
I just tried the code in my proxy and works as expected, good job :)
Awesome! 
Merged upstream master
Applied code to the Joomla install on our internal network.
Finally, we were able to update using the Joomla! Update function.
I would say: add to Joomla 3.3 ;)
In the en_GB language file the line
COM_CONFIG_FIELD_SECRET_DESC
was added and is now included twice.
Will add my feedback as soon I tested it.
Removed the doubled line, thanks.

What about Joomla 2.5.x ???

No new features go into 2.5. It will be retired by end of this year anyway.
I guess there is an easy way to upgrade the 2.5 instances to 3.x then, is there ?

Depends how you define "easy". You can upgrade the core using the built-in Joomla Update function (switch it to STS in the options) or you can just download the 3.3.x package and install it using the extension installer.
However you need to make sure your extensions are compatible and you likely need a new template.
Setup an update server on your intranet, switch to customized in options.
