Comment(by arma):

 {{{
 +    if (conn->router_purpose == ROUTER_PURPOSE_BRIDGE)
 +      connection_dir_bridge_routerdesc_failed(conn);
      connection_dir_download_routerdesc_failed(conn);
 }}}

 This part makes me sad. It would be best to put the bridge-specific
 function inside the more general function, not to call both of them back-
 to-back.

 But then, I bet these functions just happen to be superficially named
 similar things, and are called from different enough places that the names
 are a coincidence.

 Somebody should open a "refactor directory.c" trac entry. Not for 0.2.2.x
 though.
