actually provide a good way to act like an apache if the auth fails.
True, I'm not sure if there is a truly good way to act like an Apache if
the authentication fails, when "Tor first; Apache if auth fails" is used.
In https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
dev/2011-November/003073.html, I suggested to have an Apache binding on
localhost, and if the bridge receives a bad AUTHORIZE cell, switch the
bridge to act as a tunnel between the bad client and Apache. (also, we can
use IRC, SMTP, etc. servers, in place of Apache here)
Still, I'm not sure if that's a good way.
