Re: [tor-relays] can dirport be disabled on fallback directory?
Hi, I didn't get your original email, it appears my spam filter is eating all your emails. (And a few other emails.) At 12:25 5/18/2018 -0400, starlight.2017q4 at binnacle.cx wrote:

The simple solution is to disable dirport, but the relay is a fallback directory and I don't want to make a change that will negatively affect the relay's ability to function as such. Would disabling dirport be a problem?
All supported Tor clients use the ORPort. They won't notice if you remove the DirPort.
also:
can a non-advertised dirport be left configured for local-system use while the public advertised dirport is disabled?
This config doesn't work, and that's a bug: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26136
does a command utility or method exist for querying dirport documents via tunnelled-dir-server? including miscellanous documents such as
/tor/status-vote/current/consensus.z …
Stem master supports ORPort endpoints in stem.descriptor.remote.Query requests: https://stem.torproject.org/change_log.html There might not be convenience functions for some of the document types you listed, so you'll need to pass their paths in the resource argument. You might also want to avoid compression locally by dropping the ".z". There don't seem to be any examples of ORPort endpoints in the Stem repository. I think Dave plans to add some more documentation as part of Tor Summer of Privacy. T

Oh interesting. You're right. I recently added Stem's ORPort capabilities but seems I forgot to add usage examples in the docs. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll add it to my todo list. In the meantime I provided an example here... https://blog.atagar.com/april2018/

Thank you!
Does a command-line utility to make such requests exist or can one be created? The availability of a command tool for ORPort document downloads would bring DirPort one step closer to complete obsolesce.
Hi starlight, sorry about the delay. Probably went a little overboard but this was a great idea. Here ya go... https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/examples/download_descriptor.html
