For what it's worth curl can do very detailed timing [1] and it can also do this using a proxy

    export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:port/

    export HTTPS_PROXY=https://your.proxy.server:port/

    curl -x http://proxy_server:proxy_port --proxy-user username:password

    or  $socks-wrapper curl # [2]

what I meant was a proxy that implements HTTP/1.1 CONNECT

and a server behind it like

``` mkfifo /tmp/myfifo cat /tmp/myfifo | nc -l 12345 > /tmp/myfifo ```

so if you manually type out

  CONNECT host:12345 HTTP/1.1
  host: host:12345
you can see exactly what's happening. To be fair you can hack curl to support that via

  curl -x proxy:3333 telnet://host:12345
but that's not exactly what you want and requires curl to have been compiled with telnet support.
