> NS10: TCP communication to the Tor control port
> Current Solution: nsISocketTransportService.createTransport()
> Notes: Tor Launcher uses non-blocking sockets as well as
nsIInputStream.asyncWait(). Also, in the future we want to be able to use
UNIX domain sockets.
I think that https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-
ons/WebExtensions/API/Runtime/connectNative might be a workable solution
to this one. Obviously it would require the other side (Tor's control
port) to change.
UNfortunetly, the only currently defined type for the communication is
using standard input/output, so it'd require Tor's control port to change
quite drastically....
