Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent v4.1.3 on Windows 10 1809

What is the problem

HTTP/S requests to web seeds don't seem to go through the proxy specified in settings
All I see in the log is

5/01/2019 3:00 PM - URL seed lookup failed for URL: 'https://cdn.media.ccc.de/congress/2018/h264-hd/', message: 35c3 url seed (https://cdn.media.ccc.de/congress/2018/h264-hd/) failed: The operation completed successfully

What is the expected behavior

I'm running a local debugging proxy, I'd expect to see a CONNECT to https://cdn.media.ccc.de/congress/2018/h264-hd/ in the proxy log.

Steps to reproduce

Set a proxy in settings, restart qBittorrent, start the torrent, watch the proxy logs.

Extra info(if any)
