[tor-relays] Issues with faravahar?

Hello.

I am getting this too, I saw this the logs a few months ago and didn't
think anything of it, this time though I ran Wireshark while started tor,
and it appears tor is transmitting encrypted info over port 80. I have the
.pcap file to prove it.

I started / stopped the relay a few times so I could get a packet capture,
unfortunately it was on a Raspberry Pi over SSH, and I couldn't run it for
too long or the Pi would grind to a halt, but each time I started it the
same / similar error message appeared in the log.

OUTPUT FROM LOG

Dec 11 21:19:17.000 [warn] HTTP status 502 ("Bad Gateway") was unexpected
while uploading descriptor to server '154.35.175.225:80'. Possibly the
server is misconfigured?
Dec 11 21:24:17.000 [warn] Received http status code 502 ("Bad Gateway")
from server '154.35.175.225:80' while fetching
"/tor/server/d/DC8CB10998F444D76F0734EDB3081B7DFD2823AD.z". I'll try again
soon.
Dec 11 21:41:17.000 [warn] HTTP status 502 ("Bad Gateway") was unexpected
while uploading descriptor to server '154.35.175.225:80'. Possibly the
server is misconfigured?

OUTPUT FROM WIRESHARK (select packet > save info as text)

78250 52.230515226 154.35.175.225 192.168.1.102 HTTP 202 HTTP/1.1 502 Bad
Gateway

Surely tor shouldn't be transmitting unencrypted messages? I was able to
use Wireshark to extract the objects from the conversation and they include
(amongst other things) RSA certificates. There is a few HTTP get / put to
other IP address as well.

****Is this a bug in tor, or a problem with either my or the remote relay
setup?****

I know a few things about Linux, but I am not a programmer by a long shot,
and I would be grateful if anyone could help clear my confusion.

Thanks
