2 points:

-  security is one thing;  corporate use / proxies, and data throughput is
another (consider the term "denial of service attack")....

Second:

- web2py is first a server application...

This use (rss feed) is as a consumer of services (I imaging the same goes
for consuming other services, e.g. IRC feeds, etc.)

Your browser has configuration to go through a proxy, and a list for
exceptions (things that should not go thru the proxy)....

some similar concept - where to direct things - somehow belongs here...  not
sure where the right place is (my immediate knee-jerk says maybe something
similar to routes, but for proxy direction / premission in routes.py???)
