Hi all,

I've had this issue with surf forever, but it is gradually becoming 
more of a problem as the web gets ever further away from HTML pages 
served over HTTP.

When using Tor+Privoxy in standard configuration, and sending surf's 
traffic through that by setting the http_proxy and https_proxy 
environment variables, complex pages generally never fully load.  
Specifically, they will partly load, say to 80%, but remaining 
transfers never complete. When I say "complex pages", I mean pages 
which have serious javascript stuff going on, like Google Maps and 
Google Docs. Sometimes they load fine, but more often they do not.
I put up a screenshot of an example failure with the web inspector 
at: https://njw.name/tmp/surfmaps.png

This never happens when using Tor Browser, though that uses its own 
Tor process.

I don't find connection problems using Tor+Privoxy with other tools 
like youtube-dl or wget, but then there aren't so many simultaneous 
requests.

Possibly related (though I haven't had time to investigate much 
yet), the cloudflare captcha page often fails to load the captcha 
part of the page, with a "400 Bad Request" on the payload URL that 
looks like this https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/payload?c=[longstring]

As you can tell, I haven't done a lot of debugging on this as of 
yet, but I thought I'd post here to see if others have experienced 
the same issues, or have any thoughts as to the cause of them.  

Nick
