(did a weak dupe check, pretty sure this is unique...)
based on Bug 83526:
------- Additional Comments From phil.anderton@t-mobil.de 2001-06-21 05:25 -------
I would like to see Mozilla comply unconditionally with rfc2616 8.1.4 at least
when using persistent connections (HTTP/1.1) to a proxy - as the rfc
says, "these guidelines are intended to improve HTTP response times and avoid
congestion".
I have a concrete example of Mozilla's behaviour causing congestion over a GPRS
connection (low bandwidth, very high latency). Ironically, MSIE performs
significantly better under the same circumstances by complying with the
standard - not normally one of Microsoft's strongpoints.

I'm putting this into bugzilla because I noticed that our SOCKS V5
implementation seems to open a SOCKS connection for every URL.
Things like this cannot happen if we expect to scale our usage with proxy servers.
Some proxy servers are process based, so this activity will carry high server
overhead. Additionally, there is the risk of connection depletion because you
can only have about 32k inbound connections for a single homed server. Even
worse, we don't support multiple DNS A records for proxy settings, so we hard
code our limitations.

I've added an URL for testing. This site contains 100 images, and takes about 50
times longer to download when using a proxy.
