Great stuff...

Something like this?
        
      DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(connectionManager,
httpParameters) {
            @Override
            protected RequestDirector
createClientRequestDirector(HttpRequestExecutor requestExec,
ClientConnectionManager conman, ConnectionReuseStrategy reustrat,
ConnectionKeepAliveStrategy kastrat, HttpRoutePlanner rouplan, HttpProcessor
httpProcessor, HttpRequestRetryHandler retryHandler, RedirectStrategy
redirectStrategy, AuthenticationHandler targetAuthHandler,
AuthenticationHandler proxyAuthHandler, UserTokenHandler stateHandler,
HttpParams params) {
                return new
DefaultRequestDirector(LogFactory.getLog(AbstractHttpClient.class),
requestExec, conman, reustrat, kastrat, rouplan, httpProcessor,
retryHandler, redirectStrategy, targetAuthHandler, proxyAuthHandler,
stateHandler, params) {
                    @Override
                    protected boolean createTunnelToProxy(HttpRoute route,
int hop, HttpContext context) throws HttpException, IOException {
                        // my stuff here!
                        return super.createTunnelToProxy(route, hop,
context);
                    }
                };
            }
        };

I just wanted to check because there may be a neater way to wire in my
custom class that I didn't spot...

Thanks
