Good to know. Is there a way to disable the X-Tor2web header ? 
(option in tor2web.conf: "Hide-X-Tor2Web-Header: True/False")

Yes that is their choice, however I do not see a reason to enable a 
hidden_service to know if a visitor came from Tor or via Tor2web.

Another question. Can you make it possible for the template directory
to override the defaults if it is available at /home/tor2web/templates ?

Tnx!
