------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Right now if you accidentally configure your applications to use the
 control port as an HTTP proxy or a SOCKS proxy, the applications don't get
 any useful feedback, and the log messages aren't too helpful.  They might
 tell you that _something_ weird happened, but they won't say what.

 When possible, then, the control port should detect HTTP and SOCKS
 requests.  It should respond to HTTP request with a "Tor isn't an HTTP
 Proxy" message to the HTTP request-maker, and should in both cases log the
 fact that the control port was used as the wrong kind of proxy.
