 > Another important thing to mention here although, looking at your log
 snippet, I am not sure whether it fits: the Torbutton log output is not
 necessarily saying the truth about whether actual connections got made. In
 particular if it is indicating that speculative connections are made
 chances are pretty high that this did not happen. For an analysis see:
 comment:3:ticket:18762 which was affecting a bunch of bugs (e.g. #16324).

 And just as a follow up on this, it is possible the OCSP request is not
 actually happening. I didn't confirm this with tcpdump, however the
 speculative connection and download is happening and I confirmed  with
 tcpdump and server-side logs before opening #25773.

 and handling file types the browser can't handle itself.

 Okay, this description was not well worded. I now realize this is a little
 complex, after reading the bugs related to #25773. I am most worried about
 the "Save Link As..." situation. I think I'll close this bug as WONTFIX
 because this isn't really the problem.

 Well, how should the external app blocker kick in *without* a connection
 being established first and some indication about what kind of file it is
 that is being requested? That's important, because, as the name says this
 component is only responsible for blocking external apps from kicking in
 and handling file types the browser can't handle itself.
