additional, there are some more problems to solve: when the proxy is loaded and configured for HTTP,
the normal HTTP mustn't be loaded. the same with FTP... i try to find a solution :) other ideas?

proposal
the Order() method (must be called after creation/load) returns 1 or 2  
1= must be THE first, 2 = don't must be the first called modul.
the networkmanager must then ask the protocols for handle a URL with a definied order.

-what is when a modul with Order() == 1 is allready loaded and a other modul has Order() ==1 set?
-are more complex orders needed ? (as example "is not the first protocol, but must be asked befor FTP")
