I see now this approach was discussed in #3875 and also proposed in #5915. There was a proposed patch for tor here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/3875/tor- optimistic-data.patch . I think it still looks like a possible solution but there are some concerns expressed about error messages which would need to be considered. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19910#comment:18> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
