mme...@chromium.org: dns prefetching leaks
dns queries when using a proxy
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=123716
We already have that. "Predict network actions to improve page load
performance".
(Most?) other speculative requests, though, are connects, not DNS lookups,
so they generally go through the proxy settings, and so don't include DNS
lookups when not needed due to the proxy. I think it's a bit unfortunate
to have to disable all the other optimizations to avoid just DNS prefetches
in this case, but it may be an uncommon enough use case that that's the
right choice.
