Tor Control Protocol and AUTHENTICATE



Hello all,

I'm developing a controller for tor (like vidalia).

When CookieAuthentication is set to 1 tor creates the
"control_auth_cookie" file.

control-spec.txt does not mention how to send the content of the file
using the AUTHENTICATE command.

The cookie is 32 bit long. I tried sending it as a HEX string but tor
still gives me a 515.

One more thing. Does tor accept connections other than from localhost
to the Control Listener? If no, is there a way of doing this (I know
it's not recommended)?

My tor is in Windows XP SP2
version=0.1.1.23

Thanks,
  Yousif
