Having managed a very large proxy configuration for some years (150k+
users, high-availability) I can tell you that pretty much any application
that pretends talking http lies, and only full browsers implement (mostly)
the complete http spec (including error handling)

So giving any http link to anything but a browser is a recipe for multiple
crashes and errors as soon as your network conditions become non-trivial.
