Someone has talked about it before, though I haven't got immediate 
plans to add the patch. GeoToad in it's current release saves no 
configuration file, and this would be a good thing for one. The library 
it uses supports a proxy, it just needs to be fed the information 
(geocache/shadowget.rb). I guess for now someone can just add an option 
to the menu to select a proxy, though it won't be saved anywhere. 
Relying on ENV variables would be annoying for Windows & Mac OS X 
users.

Yup. It used to be a feature until GC.com went ASP.net. I tried to get 
the country search fixed, and in fact some stub code exists for it in 
geocache/search.rb. Someone just needs to figure out how to get through 
the second page it sends you too, though it may have changed already 
again. I'd love a patch for this!
