Does your proxy support HTTP/1.1?
if it only supports 1.0, then it _must_ act as a tunnel, not as a
proxy (per the rfc). If it handles 1.1 as 1.0, then it'll keep the connection
open waiting for the server to say "close it", but the server is waiting for
other requests. so the proxy hangs...
sniff (use tcpdump for example) traffic on both sides of the proxy, and see
what the proxy does (does it relay the response or does it wait for things
that don't come until timeout?)
