Description

We determined that ACS children will likely need different HTTP Proxies depending on what smart proxy they're assigned to. So, we should move the HTTP Proxy selection to the smart proxy from the ACS. It likely doesn't make sense for ACSs on a single smart proxy to be talking to upstream servers via different HTTP Proxies.

Simplified ACSs will likely inherit HTTP Proxy config from their respective repositories. I'm thinking that, on the smart proxy page, there could be an option to select:
1) Inherit from repository
2) Use global default
3) Use specific HTTP proxy

This should be further discussed and designed out, however.

Some questions:

Should simplified ACSs inherit HTTP proxy info?

Should ACSs even use the Default Global HTTP proxy?

Would it be likely that users would want to use different HTTP proxies for ACSs within a single smart proxy?
