+ <para>
+ In case of missing server data, no error message is send to the
+ client if the request arrived on a reused connection. The client
+ is then supposed to silently retry the request without bothering
+ the user. This should significantly reduce the frequency of the
+ "No server or forwarder data received" error message many users
+ reported.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>

+ Allows the client to pass NTLM authentication requests to a
+ forwarding proxy. This was already assumed and hinted to work

+ with IE, Firefox and Chrome.
+ Thanks to Francois Botha and Wan-Teh Chang
