Does anybody else use Safari in conjunction with Privoxy? After wondering why my connection seems to slow down after time, I started looking through various things and noticed something strange: Safari doesn't seem to properly close connections.

Here's some netstat output:

...
tcp4 12885 0 localhost.53899 localhost.8118 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp4 13219 0 localhost.53897 localhost.8118 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp4 3323 0 localhost.54072 localhost.8118 CLOSE_WAIT
...

On a good day, I get a few hundred of those, which cut my throughput down to around 30%.

Has anybody else noticed this? This seems to be a bug with Safari as OmniWeb never behaved like this. I thought I'd ask before I file this as a bug.

I use privoxy on a separate machine and Safari closes all connections properly.
