I was under the impression that Tor's > proxy behavior was perfect, at least in 0.1.1.10-alpha and later. The above was what I noticed while briefly testing SETCONF HttpsProxy via the control port for different proxies, some unreachable, some that gave me 403 errors. It seemed that after the proxy failed once, it was ignored. Sometimes it failed silently and then was ignored. I suppose I could have been doing something strange accidentally. Or maybe the control port setting wasn't properly being propagated. I can retest sometime next week if you need me to. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
