Comment:

 Chang started doing this at https://github.com/changlan/meek/tree/chrome
 (and copied to https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/meek.git/shortlog/refs/heads/chrome). It is broken into two
 parts: and app and an extension, because extensions aren't allowed to open
 listening sockets in Chrome. It goes like this:
   meek-client ←(socket)→ app ←(message)→ extension ←(HTTPS)→
 www.google.com
 According to https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest, it's not
 supposed to be possible to modify the Host header. But apparently it
 works. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=158073 is the
 bug report noting the discrepancy.
