While it would be possible, you might want to use functions for speaking
proxy http directly instead. If you can't find any it is quite simple to
generate the whole query yourself; here's an example using netcat:

echo "GET http://www.freebsd.org/ HTTP/1.0\nCache-Control:
only-if-cached\n\n" | nc <proxyserver> <proxyport> | head
