Replying to [comment:5 oc]:
> If I understand correctly, this ticket is about evaluating localhost
fingerprinting risks, which is all good. #10686 was about considering
''any'' clear-text request to localhost a breach to TBB's proxy obedience
requirement
Where is the breach, exactly? The design document says:
{{{
The browser MUST NOT bypass Tor proxy settings for any content.
}}}
And including "127.0.0.1" into "content" does not make any sense here as
this would imply that TBB users could never access 127.0.0.1 themselves (I
don't see how you can proxy 127.0.0.1 if your proxy is listening at
127.0.0.1 as well).
