 Alright, I've done some messing around, And i've got it to work 100% with
 Apache as a proxy server.

 The proxy server i was testing with before (ccProxy) now works with HTTP,
 CURL, and Fopen() - But fails with streams and fsockopen().

 I've not tested Squid, which is really probably the main server that needs
 testing.. I'll test that if i can find a test server, Or i can manage to
 configure it myself.

 I've made a fair few modifications to the original patch( 4011.3.diff ),
 So What i'm thinking, Is Get that commited first (props jacob), once thats
 commited, I can make a patch based off that of my changes,

 I'm aiming to support '''HTTP Proxies''' with this patch, Its near
 impossible to support every different type of proxy it seems, so on some
 hosts, disabling some of the HTTP transports -may- be required for clean
 operation, but only IF they're using a proxy too, So for the majority of
 users it'll not be a problem. For the majority of proxy users, it'll work
 fine (provided squid acts nicely), for a small set of the proxy users,
 they may have to disable them.

 Once my patch is applied, The following items are affected:[[BR]]
 Apache (As a proxy server, No Username/password): All transports
 work[[BR]]
 CCProxy (With, and without, username/password): Http, Curl, and fopen()
 work. Streams and fsockopen() do not.

 I've not tested apache with a username/password yet.
