       "mech-dump" will only work on HTML documents when used on remote URLs, but will assume any local file you pass it is
       HTML. If it is not, there won't be any usable results.

       Proxy settings are specified through the environment (e.g. "http_proxy=http://proxy.my.place/").	 See LWP::UserAgent
       for details.
