It just hit me, while reading the source, that curl would use the full
url for path if I was using PROXY... so I tried and it seems to just
work!

purge_url='http://yaqb.org/test-cache/test.html'
c.setopt(c.PROXY,'10.0.4.2:80')
c.setopt(c.URL, purge_url)
c.setopt(c.CUSTOMREQUEST,'PURGE')

Is this right?
