indeed.

for requests like GET and POST, the proxy needs to know the full url
to be able to perform the actual request on behalf of the client if
e.g. the request result is not in the proxy cache.

CUSTOMREQUEST seems to be context sensitive in this respect, i.e.
whether to pass the full url to the request command as in the proxy
case, or parts of the url as in the non-proxy case.
