Re: [tor-dev] Prototype of a next-generation Tor control interface

A short summary of the discussion on IRC: It is generally considered a good idea to better encode data in Tor's control protocol. In this case Protocol Buffers probably is more suitable for data serialization than JSON. Though Flask seems to be a nice prototyping framework, security concerns were raised regarding the use of HTTP as transport protocol, where ZeroMQ or raw-TCP may be more suitable.
