When I try to access a hidden service on TOR using cURL, for some reason I'm not getting access to the site 100% of the time. Many times it returns "curl: (7) Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to 0.0.0.0:0. (5)" Is there something I can do to configure cURL to work better with TOR? Here is the output I'm getting: root@Dexter:~# curl --proxy socks5h://localhost:9050 http://5ztppjwojkuslibm.onion/ curl: (7) Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to 0.0.0.0:0. (5) root@Dexter:~# curl --proxy socks5h://localhost:9050 http://5ztppjwojkuslibm.onion/ curl: (7) Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to 0.0.0.0:0. (5) root@Dexter:~# curl --proxy socks5h://localhost:9050 http://5ztppjwojkuslibm.onion/ curl: (18) transfer closed with 1 bytes remaining to read

This is a test page to see if I can run a hidden tor service!

Looks like it's working!
