Comment(by asn):

 And if we don't want to lose backwards-compatibility (even though many
 people who currently use it, are probably using it wrongly), we can:
 a) Keep the old name, `HTTPProxy`, and log an LOG_WARN.
 b) Rename it, but log a LOG_WARN, explaining the situation, before dying,
 when a user attempts to still use `HTTPProxy`.
