+ o Code simplificiation and refactoring:
+ - When a direct directory request fails immediately on launch,
+ instead of relaunching that request from inside the code that
+ launches it, instead mark the connection for teardown. This
+ change simplifies Tor's callback and prevents the directory-
+ request launching code from invoking itself recursively.
+ Closes ticket 17589. \ No newline at end of file
