 Tor support authenticated hidden services. Unfortunately, the easiest way
 to currently reach them is by modifying torrc.

 It would be great if the TorBrowser would offer an easier interface to
 reach HTTP(S) authenticated hidden services.

 A quick brainstorm lead to think that their could be two sides of this
 interface:

  * an option in the onion menu,
  * custom "Unable to connect" page for .onion that would say "maybe this
 hidden service requires an auth cookie" and a field to enter one.
