Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:3 asn]:
 > d) Make its TLS layer less easily fingerpintable.

 This is my thinking on [[HTTPS
 fingerprintability|doc/meek#Distinguishability]] and deployment. We should
 first take care of the trivial fingerprinting issues, namely client
 ciphersuites and TLS extensions, and then make the first deployment. Those
 two are the things for which a firewall rule can be written in five
 minutes. The other issues are things like traffic statistics, which are
 important but not immediately important in that it takes time to make a
 classifier and even then it's not 100%.

 I'm working on a TBB browser extension to make HTTPS requests on behalf of
 meek-client. That will get us Firefox's ciphersuites and TLS extensions,
 and I think is more realistically deployable than, say, packaging another
 browser in the TBB, and more future-proof than writing a custom OpenSSL or
 NSS program that closely tries to imitate browser TLS.
