 Replying to [comment:3 arma]:
 > asn and I talked about this and decided it's probably an obfsproxy
 missing feature: it doesn't know how to send its traffic through a proxy.

 > It's a low priority feature for obfsproxy though, and once it's in Tor
 is going to need to know how to add Tor's proxy settings to the obfsproxy
 command line,

 You can't put upstream proxy settings on a pluggable transport's command
 line because the user might set them after Tor has started its pluggable
 transports.  Every pluggable transport needs to have a two-way control
 connection open with Tor at all times.
