A https service can be linked to on tor (e.g. dash at local port 8050), accessed over tor via .onion:8070. However the method to check whether tor access is achieved (not even access to the onion domain), did not register a successful connection, even though the onion domain was available (once) over https. After that the installation code terminated tor, probably because the installer code did not detect a successful basic tor connection.

Wrote a separate test that directly checks whether the self-hosted http(s) onion address is reachable or not, without intermediate verifications on whether tor is reachable or not. The intermediate verifications seemed unstable, the direct check seemed stable.
