Because of the design of apt transports, if you put just "http" then
unfortunately the request will get sent to the http transport, not
this one.  And for that to work, you would have to add SOCKS proxy
support to apt itself, which is quite difficult.

One thing I do intend to add is support for URLs like
"tor+http://...";, which is quite possible.  Also "tor+https://...";.
Do you think this would be any better for usability?

Kind regards,
