Hi, a couple questions about fallback directories. On 4/17/15, Peter Palfrader wrote:
We want them to have been around and using their current key, address, and port for a while now (120 days), and have been running, a guard, and a v2 directory mirror for most of that time.
In the script (and proposal 206) a candidate for fallback uses the orport. When is the http directory connection used? Is it just for backwards compatibility? Does the directory address being different not matter? A candidate can only be or-address+orport? If the document is signed why is bootstrapping using the or-address+or-port for candidates a key consideration? Aren't the clients going to switch to guards and tunneled dir-connections anyway? (Unless configured otherwise) In a worst-case the client would still use bridges if tor is blocked--and it doesn't look like the fallback-dir are being considered for this case anyway. Is there more documentation somewhere? Thank-you --leeroy
