The use of the proxy is optional (if there is a proxy inbetween then you 
need to specify it)
Net::HTTP::Proxy returns a Net::HTTP object if phost is nil, e.g. no 
proxy in between.
An alternative is the use of openuri so that you can do IO as if on an 
XML file
You can also read the Ruby/Amazon library code 
(http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-amazon.shtml) for a solution on how to 
handle XML content of HTTP requests.
