Yeah, this will require work in both stage1 and in stage2.  stage1 needs
to be able to download various files via the proxy, so it's not just
going to be things to do in python.  It'll probably be significantly
more work to do the stage1 portion because we have our own URL fetching
code in there.  Also note that stage1 does not currently support HTTPS,
so adding that will be a fair amount as well.
