The proxy isn't written to deal with what you want to do. Converting the non-blocking call into a blocking one won't fix the problem, it'll just change it. If you want to change the headers that pass through the proxy, you probably need to hook in at a different place, where an asynchronous operation won't mess things up. More generally, `twisted.web.proxy` isn't really well suited for a rewriting proxy. It's barely capable of functioning as a boring pass- through proxy. If you'd like to make your application simpler, you might want to look at ways to make `twisted.web.proxy` more well suited to this task.
