Comment (by atagar):
> Yeah, it's "time-period" field in the rend-spec so I will add that to
the description. The only thing I want to avoid here is to copy-paste text
between spec document because if one changes, chances are we forgot the
other one.
That makes sense. What I care about from a controller perspective is 'what
does this field look like?'. That is to say, is it an iso timestamp, unix
timestamp, whatever. From the example below seems it's the later.
> TimePeriod, Replica and HSAddress are all used to compute a descriptor
ID. Thus if you provide a descriptor ID, they are useless. From your
native english speaker perspective, how can I phrase that better? :)
Nah, the language is fine. I mean, I'm unsure what these arguments do.
Lets say I make the request in your second example...
{{{
HSFETCH ajkhdsfuygaesfaa
SERVER=9695DFC35FFEB861329B9F1AB04C46397020CE31
TIMEPERIOD=424344
REPLICA=1
}}}
I got that I'm fetching the descriptor for ajkhdsfuygaesfaa.onion from
HsDir 9695DFC35FFEB861329B9F1AB04C46397020CE31. Guessing the TIMEPERIOD
argument means 'the descriptor that was valid at unix timestamp 424344'?
And replica... well, not sure what part means. :)
No doubt if I read through the rend-spec all would make sense. All I mean
is that it would be nice if this spec addition went a little further in
explaining what these arguments do. :)
