request to add API feature

[c3ph3us]

this is short flow diagram on app ORBOT start (what i see from logs)

1. start Orbot
2. orbot checking existence of prev TOR instance (by connecting to tor control)

• if no prev instance:
  a) TOR is starting
  b) POLIPO is starting
  c) handshake connection etc
• if instance exist
  a) getNetworkState - state disconnected / disabled - closing connections (as obsolete)
  b) check TOR / POLIPO authenticity
  c) make connection

does Orbot or TOR has API to

• check TOR state on local machine (running / stopped)
• check if valid VPN / SOCKET connection is established (route to exit node established )
• get names of apps from orbot which are allowed by tor thru vpn/socket connection
• data of VPN / SOCKET - port, host, protocol

if not i wish to request to add such a possibility

i have also second proposal

• allow orbot to act as downloader(mostly to allow download apk /zip files) via tor (as replacement for default download manager in android) - this can help to obtain some files on higher level of security (to avoid: spoofing, hijacking, exploit, SRA, Pharming, Trojans, Spyware, Rootkits etc)
