Looking briefly, I couldn't find relevant discussion. Possibly it
was off list. My recollection is that, at the time, it had to do with
seeing how SSL was becoming more and more central to browsing with
things like 'HTTPS Everywhere' and 'HTTP Strict Transport Security'
coming along and the issue of privacy gaining increasing public
awareness.

As for this effort now, I started just by wondering what it would
look like if I integrated Benjamin's code and took out the windows
stuff. It was working pretty well very quickly. And now I like how
much more respectful of servers and resources Dillo can be when
HTTPS is integrated with the http_max_conns queuing and
http_persistent_conns. I think Johannes mentioned something about
Dillo and Tor not working together so well with HTTPS in a dpi,
but I don't know the details there.
