It doesn't matter much in my case -- I'm just trying to ensure that the user of Polipo gets an error message that makes sense. > None of these fit the "we timed out without even trying to make the > connection" case in Tor, but host unreachable and network unreachable > seem closest. What about defining a tor-specific extension to SOCKS that provides both a user-readable error message instead of an error code? I'd be quite willing to implement support for that in Polipo, and I have no doubt that so would the Privoxy people. Juliusz
