[mirror-admin] faster report_mirror available

[Matt_Domsch at Dell.com]

That feature is noted on the TODO list, but it isn't one which I know
how to plumb into python at this time.  If you do know, or know someone
who could do it, I'd gladly accept patches.

Could you please modify it to upload data from behind proxies?
