I think that the answer to this problem is configure your browser to
use the a proxy configuration javascript file. This file contains
javascript that is executed to decide which proxy to use or that no
proxy is to be used. This means that you really can have a "direct
connection to the Internet" for some files.
This is the method that was discussed here a few weeks ago to force
PDF files to be fetched directly bypassing WWWOFFLE.
