I need to send a custom HTTP request, PURGE request, to a Squid proxy
server. I tried this, using Python:

c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(c.URL, 'http://10.0.0.1/http://yahoo.com/index.html')
c.setopt(c.CUSTOMREQUEST,'PURGE')

10.0.0.1 being my Squid server. This causes cURL to send

PURGE /http://yahoo.com/index.html HTTP/1.1

The leading slash in the above request is my problem. How do why get rid of it?
