In case you weren't aware of it, my (ancient) Apache::Gateway mod_perl
module is a gateway/proxy built on LWP and can therefore gateway the
common LWP protocols.  (I'm hedging slightly because I don't think
mailto: was ever tested and because most people will want to disable
or otherwise prohibit access to file:// URLs.)

You are welcome to build upon or take useful code fragments from it.
In particular, you might find the header handling routines and reading
the comments about special cases useful.
