Hi Paige,

I've been aware of OpenGarden for some time. Sounds nice, but without
more technical information it is hard to comment on it. Also, you're not
planning to release it as open source, right?

I'm not sure what you mean, but maybe the following directives are what
you are looking for?

 HTTPProxy host[:port]

    Tor will make all its directory requests through this host:port (or
host:80 if port is not specified), rather than connecting directly to
any directory servers.

 HTTPSProxy host[:port]

    Tor will make all its OR (SSL) connections through this host:port
(or host:443 if port is not specified), via HTTP CONNECT rather than
connecting directly to servers. You may want to set FascistFirewall to
restrict the set of ports you might try to connect to, if your HTTPS
proxy only allows connecting to certain ports.

 Socks4Proxy host[:port]

    Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 4 proxy at
host:port (or host:1080 if port is not specified).

 Socks5Proxy host[:port]

    Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 5 proxy at
host:port (or host:1080 if port is not specified).
