I am not sure what to do about it, but I think the approach you describe will break the method that Tor Browser just started to use to detect that an onion service requires client authentication (see https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30000 and associated child tickets). The tldr is that we rely on receiving a new error code from the SOCKS connect request. -- Mark Smith Pearl Crescent http://pearlcrescent.com/ _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
