I don't know what that is, but does it work with curl today?

Some of the many problems with that PR is that it does its own name lookups
and does its own connections (because it can't be avoided), meaning that lots
of curl options don't work or work differently and that many curl features
can't be supported at all. It's just a super weird hack that would be painful
to support.
