I didn't implement this feature yet, because:
1. It's hard to do it right.
2. I'm the breadwinner for my family. I'm too busy with things I do  
for a living.

I'm not going to apply this patch, because:
1. It does not support chains of proxies:
    https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/X-Forwarded- 
For#Format
2. It does not support HTTP persistent connections (only modifies the  
first request of each connection):
    https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection
3. The code is ugly.
4. It does not have a GPL-compatible, non-copyleft license.
