Remy is correct.
It compiles with a modified version of the http client.
Unfortunatley the proxy support is quite hacky and nasty - we've got a
few choices:
1. Get the hacky code committed (Remy's first option)
2. Remove proxy support from the codebase (Remy's second option)
3. Let the http-client gurus know that we are attempting to achieve a
degree of proxy support, submit the code as a patch and let them decide
whether it's worthwhile integrating.
I'm in favour of Option 3.
Comments?
