I am double checking the spec. To verify what exactly should be send - as
one could also have to consider a proxy on a vhost.
To summarize, in the case of a PROXY we have
proxyhost + proxyport
full URL (http://urlhost:urlport/foo) (or ftp, etc)
and we do
connect to proxyhost, proxyport
then say 'GET full-URL HTTP...'
And now the question is, do we do
Host: proxyhost [:proxyport]
or
Host: urlhost[:urlport]
or
<nil> (i.e. explictly NO Host:).
