Comment:

 I guess I got confused by your above comments in response to the behavior
 of the browser patch (which given the localization and SSL issues does
 seem better than the Tor patch). Just to clarify your above comments: The
 DNS failure/typo case for the browser patch results in a "Connection
 reset" message with the current browser SOCKS patch?

 If so, we might want to come up with some sort of way to retry failed
 requests like that without optimistic data... You say the SOCKS state
 machine already retries for that failure case, though? That seems weird to
 me...
