Comment(by proper):

 Internet and I'm here to help.

 > If the Tor project really wants to reverse the current policy and ship a
 HTTP proxy with Tor again, I think it would be worth trying to communicate
 with the various HTTP proxy upstreams about what the requirements are, to
 see if they can be satisfied already or maybe in a future release after
 adding the missing pieces (potentially by accepting the required patches).

 Sounds good.

 As discussed [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 talk/2012-June/024498.html here] it is my opinion that this method is too
 difficult and unreliable.

 If someone else interested in the http to Tor socks (with stream
 isolation), I'd like to see your opinion.

 This one would be awesome. Would that make a fine http solution or what is
 required?
