On second thought, integrating as tightly as I'd like with Net::HTTP,
while it works, isn't practical because the cache can't be checked
easily until after the socket's opened.

I'll probably go with a delegator much like Net::HTTP::Proxy.  We'll
see.  This is useful code, and it's already nearly good enough for my
uses but deserves some full development because I can see a lot of need.

My use for this is an RSS aggregator that's not going to waste
bandwidth.
