Getting web page throught a proxy (squid)

[Mark Nottingham]

ICP is for communication between proxies; normally, you can't fetch objects
through it; you'd want to use HTTP for that.

(small objects can be sent through ICP, but only very small ones).

If you're actually interested in an ICP module, tell me, maybe we can
work something up.


Cheers,
