commit 77e4bff0fb29b214fb3641b943da5c809b29aff3 Author: David Fifield david@bamsoftware.com Date: Wed Jun 11 20:18:46 2014 -0700

Return an error string for request format errors.

Previously we just closed the socket. I was trying to use a plain http URL through the helper, which isn't allowed by requestOK. (This is just a safety feature because none of our deployment is planned to use plain http.) It took me a little while to figure out what was going wrong. Now you will get a line in the meek-client log:
