Summary:
The "CFNetwork Programming Guide" is such a useful resource — but it does not mention the CFProxySupport API anywhere. That's a shame because it's not only a nice and simple API, but it's also the only (sane) way of getting that information on iOS, where the SCDynamicStore functions are unavailable.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open and read the TOC of the "CFNetwork Programming Guide" looking for the section on "Working With Proxy Servers", eventually reading the sub-section "Navigating Firewalls".

Expected Results:
There's a nice little passage telling you "hey look, we have this great API to determine the current proxy configuration and even query on a URL basis".

Actual Results:
"Navigating Firewalls" tells you about an API which does not exist on iOS and which — on any platform — would require you to include yet another framework into your project :-(

Regression:
