        This will instruct the proxy to fetch the content directly rather
than requesting it from another proxy. It will NOT instruct the browser
to fetch the content directly. I do not think that this is what Ricardo
is asking for.

        To achieve what Ricardo wants he will have to do the appropriate
config on the BROWSER which is best done via PAC scripts as has been
explianed by some of our colleagues.
