Knocked up locally, but not by me, I'm afraid. And since it now
certainly has hundreds (or maybe thousands) of users, I suspect it would
be impractical to change it now...
My point was simply that there are sure to be many different proxy
configurations, so you can't hope to support all of them out of the box.
It might well be possible to support all the popular ones, but there
ought to be a way of customising for strange setups like ours.
