 Replying to [comment:12 rransom]:
 > This would be fine except that almost every controller we care about
 starts its control connections by sending “`PROTOCOLINFO\r\n`”.  You
 really do need to use something like `strcasecmpstart` (defined in
 src/common/util.h and .c; hopefully I'm spelling its name correctly) to
 compare the first chunk of data with “`GET `”, “`POST `”, etc..  (The
 SOCKSPort code only looks at the first byte because the first byte sent on
 a SOCKS connection must be the SOCKS version number.)

 Made the change. I had (incorrectly) assumed that TC connections begin
 with an AUTHENTICATE command. So, I decided to use the switch-case in the
 "not an HTTP Proxy" code instead of strcasecmpstart.
