Comment:

 Hrmmm indeed... that's probably a wiser choice but will definitely break
 existing relay configuration if we plain rename.

 What about deprecating it and also creating a `HTTPRelayDirectoryProxy`
 (not final name) that does exactly what `HTTPProxy` does for relay
 directory request which would provide a transition path?
