I'm not sure what you want to do with that directive (header?).
Actually, I hacen't heard about it until now, it is not a
standard header.
When sending a request via proxy instead of directly to the
target, there are some details to be considered. For HTTP/1.1,
you must put an absolute URL into the request line rather than
just the path as recommended for direct requests. Then connect
to the proxy instead of the target and you should be fine.

Things get ugly when you have to tunnel HTTPS through proxies,
and worse when you have to authenticate against the proxy.

cheers,
  Roland
