Comment (by mcs):

 Kathy and I reviewed your patch.  This looks like a nice improvement!  We
 have a few questions / comments:
 * In the getBridge function, are you certain that bridge.ID will be upper
 case?
 * In info.bridgeParser, do we need to add parser support for IPv6
 addresses?
 * Will "vanilla" ever show up in the circuit display?  I could not make
 that happen during testing. Tor transport (aka vanilla bridges) resulted
 in a generic display that looked like "(Unknown country)(IP unknown)".
 * For meek, I expected the circuit display to show 'Bridge: meek" or
 similar but I saw the same generic display as for Tor bridges.
 * Inside info.getMultipleResponseValues, I think you can remove
 "filter(utils.identity)" (unless I misunderstand something, it does not
 change the array that is returned).

 Also, this may already be covered in a different ticket, but after I did
 "New Tor Circuit for this Site" I had no circuit display.
