I don’t think that’s the case: when an HTTP proxy is in use, clients make a CONNECT or GET HTTP request to the proxy, which resolves the host name on their behalf. That’s why you can pass ‘--substitute-urls=http://bp7o7ckwlewr4slm.onion’ and it Just Works. So I think you message could make a great section in the cookbook. :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
