archiloque/rest-client — Issue #95: Using http proxy only for some requests (not for localhost)

Our application uses rest-client/couchrest to talk to a local couch database as well as connects to some external web services for which some users require a web proxy.

When I globally set Restclient.proxy to an external proxy server, all requests (including the ones to localhost) go to that proxy server - and obviously the ones to localhost fail.

If this is a feature request, adding another option to RestClient.get/post/put/delete, e.g. "use_proxy=false" would do the trick.
