This isn't a normal use case for an HTTP proxy--I'm not even sure what the
specs say is supposed to happen with differing GET and Host: lines. The
principle of least surprise would have the proxy leave that Host: line alone
when it performs the remote request, but I'm not surprised to hear that
the proxy you're using doesn't.

This is a tunneling proxy connection, and can be enabled with the
CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL option.
