Also, make node_get_prim_orport() indicate in its return value whether
a valid OR port was copied or not.
Maybe we should make it legal to pass ap_out==NULL?
Also, do this only for clients, explicitly.
Also, give the flag a value every time we set consensus. We used to
touch it only when ClientPreferIPv6ORPort was set, which was wrong.
extend_info_from_node() used to use the primary OR port (i.e. IPv4)
unless the node had routerinfo. Now that we have IPv6 addresses in
microdescs we may want to use them.
Note that this patch changes using r->cache_info.identity_digest into
using node->identity. I count on these being well synchronised, or
things would break in other ways. Right?
Add ClientUseIPv6 and ClientPreferIPv6ORPort configuration options.
Use "preferred OR port" for all entry nodes, not only for bridges.
Mark bridges with "prefer IPv6 OR port" if an IPv6 address is
configured in Bridge line and ClientPreferIPv6ORPort is set.
Mark relays with "prefer IPv6 OR port" if an IPv6 address is found in
descriptor and ClientPreferIPv6ORPort is set.
Filter "preferred OR port" through the ClientUseIPv6 config option. We
might want to move this test to where actual connection is being set
up once we have a fall back mechanism in place.
Have only non-servers pick an IPv6 address for the first hop: We
don't want relays to connect over IPv6 yet. (IPv6 has never been used
for second or third hops.)
Implements ticket 5535.
Generate and store all supported microdescriptor formats. Generate
votes with one "m" line for each format. Only "m" lines with version
info matching chosen consensus method will be voted upon.
An optimisation would be to combine "m" lines with identical hashes,
i.e. instead of "m 1,2,3 H1" and "m 4,5 H1", say "m 1,2,3,4,5 H1".
Define new new consensus method 14 adding "a" lines to vote and
consensus documents.
From proposal 186:
As with other data in the vote derived from the descriptor, the
consensus will include whichever set of "a" lines are given by the
most authorities who voted for the descriptor digest that will be
used for the router.
This patch implements this.
We are doing this merge to avoid taking the patch from
"nickm/disable_pathbias_warnings_v2" into 0.2.4 -- we're going to try
to fix the pathbias code for real here.
We've had over two months to fix them, and didn't. Now we need
0.2.3.x stable. Yes, it would be cool to get this working in
0.2.3.x, but not at the expense of delaying every other feature that
_does_ work in 0.2.3.x. We can do a real fix in 0.2.4.
This is important, since otherwise an attacker can use timing info
to probe the internal network.
Also, add an option (ExtendAllowPrivateAddresses) so that
TestingTorNetwork won't break.
Fix for bug 6710; bugfix on all released versions of Tor.
