I didn't mean to suggest that the two were mutually exclusive. Writing
one's own proxy might involve large chunks of a preexisting proxy or
not.
(P.S. If you write it in C, I do, in fact, strongly suggest you take
the HTTP parser from another project. The chances of building a secure
HTTP parser in C are (empirically) very small).
