"HiddenID-aware consumer"^TM example

How to run a [good for nothing] consumer on your public host:

On a server with a known domain (e.g. `example.org`)

Clone hidden-id's fork of python-openid.
cd examples and ln -s ../openid . (easier than installing 😉).
Run Tor (i.e. have a socks5 proxy at 127.0.0.1:9050).
Have some open port in the firewall for the consumer (just during the test), e.g. 9876.
Run python2 consumer.py -s example.org -p 9876 (assuming 9876 is not blocked by the firewall).

At home (behind a tor browser)

Run your HiddenID server.
With a tor browser, navigate to http://example.org:9876 (Note: production consumers should be behind SSL, but http is good enough for a test).
Login as your HiddenID .onion url.
