Control Port authentication issue?

[dapphp]

I haven't tested it personally, but this is based on a post on StackOverflow at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38486347/generating-tor-controlport-password

It looks like they're getting errors about failing to authenticate due to missing quotes. In the source it looks like the password is not wrapped in quotes which it should be.

Probably should change:

var commands = [
  'authenticate '+ password +'', // authenticate the connection

to:

var commands = [
  'authenticate "'+ password +'"', // authenticate the connection

if the password is not empty.

Hello!

You were right, the password when not an empty string requires quotes around it.

After the fix I tested with both empty and non-empty passwords successfully!

I also updated the README to better explain how to generate and configure the password and use the ControlPort.

Thanks for your help Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV~~
