+//               progress, closes the connection, and resets to begin
+//               anew.  You shouldn't ever need to call this, since
+//               the channel should be able to reset itself cleanly
+//               between requests, but it is provided in case you are
+//               an especially nervous type.
+//
+//               Don't call this after every request unless you set
+//               set_persistent_connection() to false, since calling
+//               reset() rudely closes the connection regardless of
+//               whether we have told the server we intend to keep it
+//               open or not.
