Hi all,

while implementing some of the networking support for webtiming in
Firefox, I noticed this requirement:

> connectEnd must include the time interval to establish the transport connection. It must not include other time interval such as SSL handshake and SOCKS authentication.

This is fairly hard to implement in Firefox because due to how the
abstractions work, SSL handshake is considered part of connect().

Do other UAs have an easier time implementing this attribute as
specified? Should the spec be changed?
