Comment:
Working on #3455. I have written a proxy filter patch like the one called
for in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436344. The patch will
allow us to set SOCKS proxy settings (either the port number or the
username/password) by first party domain. Two options I can see are (1)
writing username/password support for Mozilla's SOCKS code (as in #6733),
or (2) dynamically creating additional SOCKSPorts through tor's
ControlPort whenever a new first party domain is encountered. I'm leaning
toward (2) because (1) requires another significant patch to Firefox that
may or may not be accepted upstream, while (2) requires only JavaScript
code in torbutton to set new SOCKSPorts. Is there a reason I should do (1)
instead of (2)?
