For what it's worth, the reason I haven't (so far) implemented HS
authorization for Briar is that it's inconvenient to manage the list
of auth cookies (effectively a second copy of the controlling app's
contact list) via the control port.

It would be really nice if the controlling app could store the auth
cookies itself and supply the relevant cookie when making a SOCKS
connection. The SOCKS password field seems like a natural fit, but I
think perhaps Tor's already using the username and password for some
other purpose?

Cheers,
Michael
