I'd like to support users who want to test out their HTML documents
via local files, but have them go thru the proxy server for non-local
files. However, if you set up file_proxy to be your proxy server, you
won't get local file access; if you don't, it won't try to proxy
access even when `file:' is treated as `ftp:'.
I've patched this in my local copies of Mosaic and lynx through a
rather ugly hack, and I'm not currently using the proxy version of
emacs (having proxy-ized that in a different way).
I suppose I wouldn't need to do this if there were a supported
URL localfile:... in all of the browsers; then we could deprecate
`file:' by just making it equivalent to `ftp:'.
