Jeremy,

        With the 3.254 release you now have a constant pattern for
    short circuit testing, but I'm wondering if you would
    prefer to have two patterns.  One for short circuit testing
    on the client side, and another for short circuit testing
    on the server side.  Without this, it would make the
    developers go through some hoops to move the
    short circuit around.

Enjoy,
