Perhaps am I reading this backwards, but I've set up Skype for someone
using such a network, and it was like:
"set http proxy"; "Ok"; "call Amy"; "Hey, Amy, this is Jenny!!".

I don't remember if auto-detection of the proxy worked out of the box,
nor whether Skype was using CONNECT or regular HTTP, but downloading
a .pac file and parsing it seems rather trivial.
