Previously we used time(NULL) to set the Expires: header in our HTTP
responses. This made the actual contents of that header untestable,
since the unit tests have no good way to override time(), or to see
what time() was at the exact moment of the call to time() in
dircache.c.
This gave us a race in dir_handle_get/status_vote_next_bandwidth,
where the time() call in dircache.c got one value, and the call in
the tests got another value.
I'm applying our regular solution here: using approx_time() so that
the value stays the same between the code and the test. Since
approx_time() is updated on every event callback, we shouldn't be
losing any accuracy here.
Fixes bug 30001. Bug introduced in fb4a40c32c4a7e5; not in any
released Tor.
When a directory authority is using a bandwidth file to obtain the
bandwidth values that will be included in the next vote, serve this
bandwidth file at /tor/status-vote/next/bandwidth.z.
It differs from the rest of the rephist code in that it's actually
necessary for Tor to operate, so it should probably go somewhere
else. I'm not sure where yet, so I'll leave it in the same
directory, but give it its own file.
The main.c code is responsible for initialization and shutdown;
the mainloop.c code is responsible for running the main loop of Tor.
Splitting the "generic event loop" part of mainloop.c from the
event-loop-specific part is not done as part of this patch.
In dirauth:
* bwauth.c reads and uses bandwidth files
* guardfraction.c reads and uses the guardfraction file
* reachability.c tests relay reachability
* recommend_pkg.c handles the recommended-packages lines.
* recv_descs.c handles fingerprint files and processing incoming
routerinfos that relays upload to us
* voteflag.c computes flag thresholds and sets those thresholds on
routerstatuses when computing votes
In control:
* fmt_serverstatus.c generates the ancient "v1 server status"
format that controllers expect.
In nodelist:
* routerstatus_fmt.c formats routerstatus entries for a consensus,
a vote, or for the controller.
There are now separate modules for:
* the list of router descriptors
* the list of authorities and fallbacks
* managing authority certificates
* selecting random nodes
Existing cached directory information can cause misleadingly high
bootstrap percentages. To improve user experience, defer reporting of
directory information progress until at least one connection has
succeeded to a relay or bridge.
Closes ticket 27169.
If bandwidth file terminator is found, set end of headers flag
and do not store the line.
If it is not, parse a relay line and check whether it is a header
line.
