rransom notes correctly that now that we aren't checking our HSDir
flag, we have no actual reason to check whether we are listed in the
consensus at all when determining if we should act like a hidden
service directory.
Previously, if they changed in torrc during a SIGHUP, all was well,
since we would just clear all transient entries from the addrmap
thanks to bug 1345. But if you changed them from the controller, Tor
would leave old mappings in place.
The VirtualAddrNetwork bug has been here since 0.1.1.19-rc; the
AutomapHosts* bug has been here since 0.2.0.1-alpha.
This bug couldn't happen when TrackExitHosts changed in torrc, since
the SIGHUP to reload the torrc would clear out all the transient
addressmap entries before. But if you used SETCONF to change
TrackExitHosts, old entries would be left alone: that's a bug, and so
this is a bugfix on Tor 0.1.0.1-rc.
If you really want to purge the client DNS cache, the TrackHostExits
mappings, and the virtual address mappings, you should be using NEWNYM
instead.
Fixes bug 1345; bugfix on Tor 0.1.0.1-rc.
Note that this needs more work: now that we aren't nuking the
transient addressmap entries on HUP, we need to make sure that
configuration changes to VirtualAddressMap and TrackHostExits actually
have a reasonable effect.
We'll eventually want to do more work here to make sure that the ports
are stable over multiple invocations. Otherwise, turning your node on
and off will get you a new DirPort/ORPort needlessly.
Otherwise, it will just immediately close any port declared with "auto"
on the grounds that it wasn't configured. Now, it will allow "auto" to
match any port.
This means FWIW if you configure a socks port with SocksPort 9999
and then transition to SocksPort auto, the original socksport will
not get closed and reopened. I'm considering this a feature.
HTTPS error code 403 is now reported as:
"The https proxy refused to allow connection".
Used a switch statement for additional error codes to be explained
in the future.
The old behavior contributed to unreliability when hidden services and
hsdirs had different consensus versions, and so had different opinions
about who should be cacheing hsdir info.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha; based on discussions surrounding bug 2732.
