Hi!

The FETCH_CMD on my system is set to be

	runsocks fetch -p

to work through the firewall, etc. This works just fine for ftp URLs,
but all of the http ones fail, claiming the host-name is unresolvable.

	mi@rtfm:~ (1100) runsocks fetch -p http://www.yahoo.com/index.html
	fetch: `www.yahoo.com': cannot resolve: Host name lookup failure
	mi@rtfm:~ (1101) runsocks fetch http://www.yahoo.com/index.html
	fetch: `www.yahoo.com': cannot resolve: Host name lookup failure

The socks5 daemon runs on 2.2.8-stable. The client machine is the 3.0-stable.

The immediate nslookup resolves the host just fine... Any ideas?  Thanks!

	-mi
