Unable to Access HTTP Response from Tor Proxy due to ByteReaderException

[nns52k]

Given that we use package:socks5_proxy to connect Tor proxy, when accessing websites through an external Tor, everything works, but if we go through this package Tor, we'll have ByteReaderException (stream has fewer bytes than expected. Size: 0, expected: 1.).

For details, please check LacticWhale/socks_dart#9

I am only getting this error when querying an Onion service, but I still get it.

I'm working around this by patching socks_socket.dart to make sure it can connect to onion services via arti.

I rebuilt the package with the "onion-service-client" (see https://github.com/cypherstack/tor/blob/main/rust/Cargo.toml#L17 ) feature on arti-client as described under "Additive features" on https://crates.io/crates/arti-client and am using the custom SOCKSSocket class contained in this repo to access onion services just fine now. package:socks5_proxy has never worked for our purposes (electrum, mostly). See https://github.com/cypherstack/tor/blob/main/example/lib/main.dart#L222-L244

Also, version 2.0 of https://github.com/LacticWhale/socks_dart has since been released and this issue needs re-assessing in light of that update.

#52 should solve this

Hey, see #58 (comment) : maybe my package, socks_socket, is broken or needs updating. I will check on this when I can but can't for time time. Just wanted you to know of other solutions others have found.
