State:/Network/Global seems to correspond to the current network
state (as opposed to saved configs which are under Setup:/Network/
Service).
>>> p = os.popen('echo "show State:/Network/Global/Proxies" | scutil')
>>> p.read()
'<dictionary> {\n RTSPEnable : 0\n ExcludeSimpleHostnames : 0\n

>>> p.close()
