In https://bugs.debian.org/776454, Russell Coker asks for a slight
modification of tor-resolve's behavior wrt .onion addresses:
$ tor-resolve zp7zwyd5t3aju57m.onion
Jan 28 17:38:42.055 [warn] Got SOCKS5 status response '4': host is
unreachable
Jan 28 17:38:42.055 [warn] zp7zwyd5t3aju57m.onion is a hidden service;
those don't have IP addresses. To connect to a hidden service, you need to
send the hostname to Tor; we suggest an application that uses SOCKS 4a.
The above output is informative, but not particularly useful for the
case of
scripts.
https://www.howtoforge.com/anonymous-ssh-sessions-with-tor
The above web site gives an example of how to use tor which btraks when
used
with .onion addresses. One way to solve this would be for tor-resolve
to
give "zp7zwyd5t3aju57m.onion" on stdout and the warning message on
stderr,
that would inform users but work in the desired manner with scripts.
A small change to tor-resolve will make it work better with existing
documented
practice and make it work with future use for .onion addresses in cases
where
admins only care about non-onion addresses now.
