[tor-dev] TorBirdy (HTTP Proxy) [GSoC 2016]

[Prakhar Pratyush <pnation2020@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

My name is Prakhar Pratyush. I've been working on this project- "Make TorBirdy Better (HTTP Proxy)" for a few days. I have tried to understand the project and I would like to discuss a few things.

At present, what TorBirdy does is- it configures ThunderBird to access the internet through a proxy SOCKSv5 server provided by Tor Bundle.

So, are we trying to design an standalone HTTP Proxy which will directly connect to Tor network entry point without needing entire Tor bundle or are we just trying to design an intermediatery HTTP Proxy which will then connect to Tor SOCKSv5 proxy using some form of tunneling or Masqueranding.



Thanks
