I've created a very simple fork of rest-client that allows
per-resource proxy settings:

resource = RestClient::Resource.new(url, :proxy => auth.proxy)
response = resource.get()

I needed this because I am using RestClient in threads to access many
resources, some proxied, some not.

I put the code up as a fork on github, not sure if that's the proper
way to put it up for inclusion in the project, but the repo is here:

https://github.com/Daveola/rest-client

Along those lines - does anyone know about how thread-safe RestClient is?
