REQUEST: Support http://abcdefghijkl.oinion server addresses

[WinstonSmith73]

I have a self-hosted Mastodon server that runs over the Tor network, and I cannot find any Mastodon clients that will work with it because none support http .onion addresses. Please add this functionality, as the Tor protocol is inherently more secure than https. Thanks for your consideration 🙏

this is android OS problem about DNS name to IP address resolution.
see also jhy/jsoup#1174

Is there workaround for this? what is correct way to resolve DNS name of ".onion" ?

Tusky and Fedilab support proxy(http or socks5) for onion address

I googled "android okhttp tor onion", but good solution not found.

I'm not familiar with those environments so don't expect me to implement them myself

People also can use orbot's VPN feature to connect onion addresses from any app they want.
It does not require existing apps to be changed.

Simple solution: Use orbot's VPN feature by user self
