Great work! I am happy to see how the implementation turns out. :)

9051 appears twice.

The header is confusing. I think it should be more specific to the MUA
case.

According to its manpage, curl will use the following environment
variable: `http_proxy`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `FTP_PROXY`, `ALL_PROXY`.
I wonder if it would not make the behaviour of htpdate more consistent
to manually unset those variables before running `curl`. Otherwise,
htpdate could use a proxy with '-p' specified on the command-line.

I am not very strong on this, but this could lead to some (bad?)
surprises.

This needs to be updated now that we are using ferm.

I think this page deserve a link to proposal 171:

I have a tickling feeling that this list will get outdated...


No tests done so far. This one deserve to be looked at closely.
Uh... and actually, those changes might require to add some more tests
to the checklist. What do you think?
