Description

```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
This doesn't work anymore:
{{{
$adb shell
#sqlite3
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
”INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,’http_proxy’,’ [host_or_IP]:[port]’);"
}}}
Possible reason - new API in Donut.
I've tried set `http_proxy` in `secure` table as in `system` but no effect.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Android must switch to proxy server instead direct connection to Internet,
but it ignores `http_proxy` setting.

```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided adb shell and settings.db steps, checking the http_proxy value in both the system and secure tables. Trace the Donut-era handling of that setting and verify completion when Android routes connections through the configured proxy instead of connecting directly.
