Comment:

 nickm: I've now posted a patch for #8641 that provides a Tor circuit
 display UI and requires no patching of Tor. The #8641 patch works by
 assuming that (given my patch from #3455) the first STREAM connection for
 each new circuit is to the URL bar domain. So I monitor CIRC and STREAM
 events and display a mapping from domain to circuit nodes.

 But, of course, we only receive the first STREAM event after the circuit
 is already built. It would be nicer to show the circuit as it is extended
 node by node. For this purpose, we would need to add USERNAME and PASSWORD
 parameters to the CIRC events (at least to the original CIRC LANUCHED
 event. Would you be open to such a patch?
