-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Right now, Vidalia has an option for HTTP Proxy. However, this option is
 extremely misleading. If you choose it, Vidalia uses the HTTPProxy torrc
 option, which tor uses to only proxy directory traffic. Since Tor no
 longer uses HTTP for directory traffic, and instead uses tunneled dircons,
 this option is entirely unused and gives users a false sense of security.
