###
Communication with the snowflake broker.
Browser snowflakes must register with the broker in order
to get assigned to clients.

# When interacting with the Broker, snowflake must generate a unique session
# ID so the Broker can keep track of which signalling channel it's speaking
# to.

# Snowflake registers with the broker using an HTTP POST request, and expects

###
An exception happens here when, for example, NoScript allows the domain
on which the proxy badge runs, but not the domain to which it's trying
to make the HTTP request. The exception message is like "Component
returned failure code: 0x805e0006 [nsIXMLHttpRequest.open]" on Firefox.
