commit 22ec4d5426eecf1a8021d9b6b95f9a1518e96110 Author: Nick Mathewson nickm@torproject.org Date: Wed Feb 23 12:32:15 2011 -0500
Fix infinite recursion when connect() fails in microdesc consensus fetch
The underlying fix is to stop indicating requests "ns" consensuses by putting NULL in their requested_resource field: we already had a specialized meaning for requested_resource==NULL, which was (more or less) "Treat a failure here as a network failure, since it's too early to possibly be a resource or directory failure." Overloading the two meant that very early microdesc consensus download failures would get treated as ns consensus download failures, so the failure count there would get incremented, but the microdesc download would get retried immediately in an infinite loop.
