This is with the 2/9 set you sent me, as well as my proxy which I have
only made one minor change in the advanced version since the release (this
was in site name matching, WWW.RSA.COM == www.rsa.com and == rsa.com if
the cert has the name of "rsa.com").

I haven't tried the post stuff (since I don't have a URL to point at), but
the snews still works with the proxy.  I assume that snewspost_proxy would
be "nntp://";.

The overlay says it is making an NNTP connection, and the link is slow so
I don't know if it completes.
