     IPv4 (or IPv6) addresses, even if the system supports both.
     Could be useful as a workaround for misconfigured setups where the

+
+94) Add a config directive to let Privoxy prefer either IPv4 (or IPv6)
+    addresses, instead of trusting the libc to return them in an order
+    that makes sense. Like #93, this could be useful as a workaround
+    for misconfigured setups.
+
+95) Support a non-standard client header in CONNECT requests that
+    contains the URL of the requested ressource, which is then treated
+    like the request URL.
+
+    This way the client could opt-in for path-based blocking of https
+    requests. Given that the headers from the CONNECT request aren't
+    forwarded to the destination server, an unencrypted URL should be
+    acceptable if the client and Privoxy are running on the same system
+    or in a trusted environment.
+
+96) Enabled filters should be easier to look up. Currently most functions
+    that work with filters spent more (duplicated) code on finding
+    filters than on actually doing something useful with them. Dividing
+    filters by type instead of filter file would reduce the lookup-code
+    quite a bit.
+
+97) Add support for Tor's 'optimistic data' socks extension.
