ServerProxy doesn't look to be the same thing as an HTTP Proxy.
ServerProxy is a proxy-object that sends its calls to a remote machine.
(so you call obj.foo() and it actually sends an XMLRPC request, it is
'proxying' for the rpc)
An HTTP Proxy is about sending the HTTP request to this machine, telling
it you really want the data from *that* machine.
Very different things.
There is the statement about:
class ProxiedTranspor
Which is basically what we did. Except after doing it, python2.7 changed
the internals a bit, and broke our custom Transport implementation.
