After the send(data) algorithm, there is this paragraph:

   If the user agent allows the specification of a proxy it should modify
   the request appropriately; i.e., connect to the proxy host instead of
   the origin server, modify the Request-Line and send Proxy-Authorization
   headers as specified.

I don't understand the construction "If the user agent allows the specification of a proxy". What does it mean to allow the specification of a proxy? What is the specification of a proxy? Or am I just misreading it?
