#21294: Exits don't allow single-hop SOCKSPorts - update single onion man page
------------------------------+---------------------------------------

Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.0.x-final
Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: 0.2.9.1-alpha
Severity: Normal | Keywords: doc, tor-hs, single-onion

------------------------------+---------------------------------------
The single onion service manual page entries encourage users to use
Tor2Web when opening a SOCKSPort on a tor in single onion service mode.
But this SOCKSPort will only work as a hidden service client, and not an
exit client, because exits block single-hop circuits.
So we should fix the log message and the docs to avoid mentioning Tor2Web
mode as an alternative. (But I think we can keep the code as-is, it will
work for the hidden service client case, but not the Exit case.)
