I would disagree. The code I wrote for chicken3/http-client is a workaround.
It was OK for chicken3/http-client, because the entire code was rather hack.
Chicken4/http-client, as far as I understand, is cleaner and strict for the protocol, so careful reading of RFC docs might be needed.

Please test http-client trunk. I've added basic proxy support in [20749]
How to use it is documented in the wiki page for http-client in a section called "Proxy support". By default, it should "just work" (ie, it picks up commonly-used environment variables for proxies).
I hope to add authentication support for proxies soon.

You'll need to update to [20760], the proxy implementation caused something else to break (null paths when not using a proxy).

Verified to work in a message to chicken-users
Code can be cribbed from the Chicken 3 "http" egg's http-client
