[tor-dev] OnionOO protocol questions

Hi Karsten,

A few questions on the Onionoo protocol specification:

If multiple parameters are specified in the GET request, does that imply 
a logical and or a logical or (or something else)?  E.g., suppose the 
GET request has type=relay and lookup=FFFF... .  To me it seems like 
that should return the relay with fingerprint FFFF..., if there is such 
a relay.  But it could also mean return all relays as well as the router 
with fingerprint FFFF... .

The search parameter is described as "Return only relays with the 
parameter value matching the beginning of a nickname, (possibly 
$-prefixed) fingerprint, or IP address..."  Do you mean that the 
parameter value matches the beginning of a nickname, the beginning of a 
(possibly $-prefixed) fingerprint, or is one of the relay IP addresses?

For ordering, what do you mean by "possible fields for ordering are: 
consensus_weight."  This is really two questions.  How is the 
consensus_weight ordering defined when producing a summary document 
(which doesn't include a consensus weight field)?  Can clients not 
request that summary documents be ordered by any of the 'n', 'f', 'a', 
or 'r' fields?

Thanks!

	- Norman
