ARRGH. Unfortunately, that's the only thing in this whole list that is
absolutely necessary for me to have! I *need* this feature - as will, I
expect, most corporate firewall users (who are now moving to websense which
uses this bloody technology).
Any idea on if/when this will be incorporated? I know it needs a javascript
engine to make happen, has anyone looked at mozilla to see if one could be
co-opted to make curl apc-aware?
