Re: Known Problems - Transparent Proxies and new HTTP Methods

Note: This is more of an implementation issue than a protocol issue, and
in part applies to normal proxies as well.

HTTP/1.1 specification allows a proxy to switch over to tunnel mode when
it receives a request with a method or HTTP version it does not
understand how to handle.
