:-)

It got put on the back burner because I started thinking about the proxy
stuff that url.el supports but I hadn't implemented for with-url yet.

Because I think that's the wrong level to do it.  Emacs should support a
general network proxy thing, that would allow all network connections to
be proxied.  (Or selectively.)

And the more I looked at this, the more apparently it became that Emacs'
network stuff should just be totally reimplemented, because it's so full
of...  oddnesses geared toward processes.  And processes and network
connections are very different things.

So it's a Big Project.  :-/
