 We can't find out which torflow instances are using a bandwidth server:

 project/2018-December/002108.html

 As far as I can tell, sbws doesn't provide any scanner info in its HTTP
 requests.

 Here's some things we might want:
 * software-name: sbws
 * software-version
 * scanner-nickname
 * scanner-IP-address? (pro: doscover users who haven't set nickname, con:
 discover users)

 Non-standard HTTP headers start with "X-".

 Assigning to 1.0, because this is vital debugging info.
