Firefox shouldn't be adding a www. Do you type in http://onionaddress.onion or just onionaddress.onion? Which version of firefox? What messages appear in the tor client logfile while this is occurring? It's possible your tor client doesn't have a path to the hidden service yet. : Then I go into the torbutton config. I turn off all proxies except the socks : proxy on 9050. Now I can browse the web AND connect to my hidden service. : However, after a few requests, firefox starts reporting that the URL being : loaded is of a bin type and needs to be handled by an external program. I : allow it, and it brings up the download manager, with no new file listed but : "all downloads completed". This persists until I restart firefox. This seems like a problem with the remote server and a mime type config. I've also seen the problem with non-hidden services when the circuit is dropped midway through a transfer of the files. -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
