Description
I use keybase via the onion service : http://fncuwbiisyh6ak3i.onion
I use facebook at *their* onion service : facebookcorewwwi.onion
When you try to use both via CLI/curl, keybase generates code that posts to keybase.io
that's easy to fix, you just edit the script in question - copy/paste http://fncuwbiisyh6ak3i.onion overtop of https://keybase.io and let it run...
it tries to go to facebook.com instead of facebookcorewwwi.onion though. Also not a big deal, you just change in the website URL bar from facebook.com to facebookcorewwwi.onion.
Then it redirects back to keybase.io. Again, not a big deal...you just edit the URL and go. Then it redirects back to fac...you get the picture yet?
It continually tries to hit the naked website on both sides of the transaction. I was able to make it work by repeatedly copy/pasting/editing of the URL ....but there's a lot of manual intervention involved and at least one of the steps my web browser(palemoon) did not actually allow me to edit the URL so I had to copy the url into a new tab. Ideally there'd be some option to 'use only onion services for this command'

Research direction
Start with the Keybase CLI/curl flow described in the issue; no repository files or tests are named, so first locate the code that builds the Keybase and Facebook URLs. Trace the redirects between the two services and define how an onion-only option would be passed through the command. Done means the flow stays on both onion services without manual URL editing.
