In case you weren't aware of it, my (ancient) Apache::Gateway mod_perl module is a gateway/proxy built on LWP and can therefore gateway the common LWP protocols. (I'm hedging slightly because I don't think mailto: was ever tested and because most people will want to disable or otherwise prohibit access to file:// URLs.) You are welcome to build upon or take useful code fragments from it. In particular, you might find the header handling routines and reading the comments about special cases useful. -ccwf -- Charles C.
