Yes... and we have to for NTLM, TPROXY and friends or they get in a bit
of trouble from connection state mismatch.

If sending the request fails we should propagate this to the client by
resetting the client connection and let the client retry.

Ok.

Yes..

?

Which it quite likely the wrong thing to do. See above.
