+
+This plugin enables ikiwiki to open outbound connections (such as
+found in [[plugins/aggregate]], [[plugins/openid]], and [[plugins/pinger]])
+via a proxy. The proxy can be configurably avoided for connections
+to certain domains.
+
+### To do
+
+* Move duplicated user-agent setup out of other plugins into this one.
+* While I'm at it, fix [[bugs/http_proxy_for_openid]].
