Hi,

perhaps solving the ticket "add http proxy support to Tor"?
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6060

Or working on torsocks maybe?

At the moment the torsocks input methods are a bit weird. The and
usewithtor, torify and uwt wrappers should be be redundant.

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/torsocks
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2012-July/024925.html

The uwt interface could be extended to a point where all settings which
can be defined in the config file can also be defined by command line.
And if that's too much, an option to supply the configuration file by
command line would help as well.

Interface could look like this:

Usage: torsocks [-h] [-v] -t server_type -i ip -p port <command>
[<options>...]
Example: torsocks -t 5 -i 127.0.0.1 -p 9050 wget
https://check.torproject.org
         sudo torsocks -t 5 -i 192.168.0.10 -p 9104 /usr/bin/apt-get
--yes dist-upgrade

The list of other torsocks issues also looks reasonable small.

And if I am not mistaken, Vidalia is currently lacking development.

Cheers,
