Yes, just using an http proxy.  Current solution is:

    def gotProtocol(p):
        p.sendMessage("GET " + webpageurl + "\n\r")

    c.connectTCP(proxyhost, proxyport).addCallback(gotProtocol)

But there should be a better way.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the patch.  Although, according to
the notes, it may take some effort to do it 'properly'.
