| Not if the requests are going to at least some forms of transparent

- ------------------
At least based on what I've seen, http:// and Referer http:// headers
came up consistently when using split proxy such as google web
accelerator. The outgoing request had a combination of http:// and
Referer http://.

Just making sure I'm not missing anything.
