Comment (by atagar):

 Hi federico3, sorry about that! Missed that this included a Stem patch.
 Pushed a revised
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/commit/?id=b4402bf change that
 adds auth_type and client_names to create_hidden_service()]. The hostname
 file's format changes when you provide client names so this adds a new
 hostname_for_client mapping of 'client => address'.

 I'd be amenable to adding the cookie contents to the output of
 create_hidden_service() (thought about it when I first made the method,
 but decided to wait until we had a use for it). However, I'd rather avoid
 adding a new method for this unless there's a good reason for it. Reading
 from disk is a hack I hope will largely go away with the introduction of
 ephemeral services.

 As for your script itself I'm a tad wary of adding it until we know how
 useful it is to users. This is why I keep nudging you to ask on tor-dev@
 but happy to wait for the ephemeral services. If we do add it then I'd
 encourage you to give it a nice writeup on...
