[BUG] updates past 2748 and http proxies (with hotfix)

Dear fellow dialup netizens,

If your http traffic is routed through a proxy, update #2748 will seemingly 
"disconnect" Squeak 2.9a both from the Scamper view of things, and, what's 
worse, from the Update servers.

Symptoms: Scamper fails to find any nonlocal page (the proxy always bails 
out with INVALID_URL) and choosing "update from server" fails to find any 
server.

Reason: HTTPSocket class>>httpGetDocument:args:accept:request: changed in 
update 2748.  Instead of full GETs

   GET http://www.squeak.org/index.html HTTP/1.0

it only asks for

   GET /index.html HTTP/1.0

Hotfix: In said method, replace the first send of #fullPath by 
#toText.  "Fixed" method is also attached.

(I wonder how we can get this into the update stream, heh.)

Happy reconnecting,
Helge
