Hello I'm reporting my progress over the last week. I have been working on implementing support for the safe cookie authentication method for Stem[1]. It is in a usable state[2] right now, but, it isn't fully tested. In the process, Stem also helped uncover a bug in the AUTHCHALLENGE error responses[3]. Now, I'll be writing the tests for the safe cookie implementation and getting it merged. Next, I'll begin work on the general controller class. Damien has already implemented an the GETINFO response parser. Beck also wants to help implement the controller class. I/We will be working on the deliverables scheduled for week two in my proposal, i.e. Implementing the wrapper functions and response parsing for the following control commands, GETCONF, SETCONF, LOADCONF, RESETCONF, SAVECONF, SIGNAL, TAKEOWNERSHIP, USEFEATURE and QUIT. 1. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5262 2. http://repo.or.cz/w/stem/neena.git/shortlog/refs/heads/safe-cookie-alt 3. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5760 -- Regards, neena
