Are you sure your application needs CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL?

CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL lets libcurl tunnel the request through
the proxy using CONNECT requests which don't contain the protocol
or the path.

To cache them Polipo would have to do lot of extra steps which
currently aren't implemented.

Quoting curl_easy_setopt(3):

| CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL
