Comment:

 Jeff "psi" "ampernand" and I have been looking at this, and we don't think
 HTTP-proxying is the best way to do accomplish this. Because HTTP-proxying
 is meant to provide a request-response style, but Foolscap needs more of a
 "bidirectional byte-stream" style.

 A potentially better way to accomplish it, which we are now poking at, is
 Twisted Endpoints -- see http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/203 . One
 potential advantage of that — if it can be made to work — is that it might
 make it easier to support Tor, cjdns, SSL/TLS, IPv6, and maybe other cool
 networking protocols.
