Comment (by pospeselr):

 Ok, I've a (seemingly) full working patch with one little bit of polish
 remaining.  The Page Info window  (at the bottom under **Technical
 Details**) for HTTP Onion services indicate that the connection isn't
 encrypted, when in fact it is fully end-to-end encrypted by virtue of
 going over Tor:

 Here's what an HTTPS Onion has to say:

 attachment/ticket/23247/Page%20Info%20SSL.png)]]

 It's easy enough to add/modify text here, but the question is **what**
 text to put here?  Preferably something succinct I think (so that it can
 be added as an addendum to HTTPS Onion services as well).

 Any thoughts on this?
