Small. Under 150 lines.
I'll attach it for those who want to play around with it. But I needed
this code quickly, so I wrote it quickly. It's not neat or nice.
I suspect it's completely wrong in some cases, they just happen to be
cases I haven't encountered (yet, anyway) - I didn't fully understand
how proxies worked when I wrote this (and I guess I still don't).
Also, many proxies just disallow webdav requests, and/or break on some
of them. In most cases, more recent versions handle it correctly,
though.
