The forward proxy also allows me to mix and match TCP clients with various SSL libraries
The so-called "modern" browser is generally tied to a single SSL library
It's possible to compile curl with several different SSL libraries, but I prefer TCP clients over HTTP clients; curl is more limited than the programs I use to generate HTTP, it's slower
