[tbb-dev] Request for help: debugging Moat in Tails

For some basic debugging, you should check that these commands work to
talk to the endpoint of the meek tunnel:

	$ curl https://onion.azureedge.net/
	I’m just a happy little web server.
	$ curl -H 'Host: onion.azureedge.net' https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/
	I’m just a happy little web server.

If those work, you can try communicating with Moat through the tunnel.
You will need to run obfs4proxy and pass it specially formatted SOCKS
credentials that encode the url= and front= parameters. You will have to
change the XXXXX port number to match what obfs4proxy outputs in the
CMETHOD line.
