No you can't. And no, you're not supposed to use that option like that since
it creates weird HTTP requests, exactly as you found out.

Removing the path from the request just because you abuse the 'request' option
is not an option for libcurl.

So why do you use it like this?

The code that creates the whole HTTP request is in Curl_http(). I can't give
you any exact line numbers since my devel version is much changed since the
latest official release, but if you checkout from CVS it is line 1345 in
lib/http.c.

I don't follow you. Are you saying that you're trying to make your request go
through two proxies? Can you show us a complete command line that you think
would do this? (If it would cut out the extra path)
