commit a6c5a063d1f963a53e012b4c31478f90dea0d795 Author: Damian Johnson <atagar@torproject.org> Date: Fri Aug 17 10:24:16 2012 -0700 Better validation of controller's from_port() function I scratched my head due to an awefully misleading stacktrace when I passed a port value into the method's argument slot. Validating the inputs to avoid having this cause confusion in the future.
