+>Privoxy</SPAN

+ is trying to reuse it, this should only be a problem if it

+ for requests on reused client connections, <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+> will simply
+ close the connection and the client is supposed to retry the

+ <A

+TARGET="_top"
+>connection-sharing</A
+> option
+ is disabled.

+> It is an error to specify a value larger than the <A
