I like this discovery process. It's all in HTTP. The only downside is
that it requires plaintext HTTP to work. I'm assuming that
http://awebsite.com should not be the real site that the user is trying
to view, but some specific site that the browser vendor keeps available
just for testing for proxies with HTTP. You can't use the site that the
user used, because that might be HTTPS.
You will get pushback on #5, though.

My mother would call me if she got that. My daughter would quickly learn
that clicking "Yes" after unchecking the "Prompt" box and selecting
"everywhere" makes the prompt go away and not come back. IOW it would
make the Internet work.
