I was not aware of this TOR compilation option. Thanks.

I was wondering if would be possible to implement access to Hidden
Services WITHOUT running a TOR node at the same time. What I have in
mind is something like a local (in my own machine) proxy that do
trasparent proxy for any standard webpage but go thru TOR for
"*.onion" domains. Reading about how Hidden Services work, seems to be
doable. Connecting directly to the rendezvous point. No client anonymity.

Would this be something to pursuit?.
