There are a few reasons that relays might be uploading desciptors
without saying X-Desc-Gen-Reason:
1. They are running an old version of our software, before 0.3.2.stable.
2. They are not running our software, but they are claiming they
are.
3. They are uploading through a proxy that strips X-Desc-Gen-Reason.
4. They somehow had a bug in their software.
According to the 25686 data, 1 is the most common reason. This
ticket is an attempt to diagnose case 4, or prove that case 4
doesn't actually happen.
Retry directory downloads when we get our first bridge descriptor
during bootstrap or while reconnecting to the network. Keep retrying
every time we get a bridge descriptor, until we have a reachable bridge.
Stop delaying bridge descriptor fetches when we have cached bridge
descriptors. Instead, only delay bridge descriptor fetches when we
have at least one reachable bridge.
Fixes bug 24367; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Stop checking for bridge descriptors when we actually want to know if
any bridges are usable. This avoids potential bootstrapping issues.
Fixes bug 24367; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Stop stalling when bridges are changed at runtime. Stop stalling when
old bridge descriptors are cached, but they are not in use.
Fixes bug 24367; bugfix on 23347 in 0.3.2.1-alpha.
Commit 56c5e282a7 suppressed that same log
statement in directory_info_has_arrived() for microdescriptors so do the same
for the descriptors. As the commit says, we already have the bootstrap
progress for this.

Due to #23662 this can happen under natural causes and does not disturb
the functionality of the service. This is a simple 0.3.2 fix for now,
and we plan to fix this properly in 0.3.3.
Fixes bug 23908; bugfix on 0.3.1.6-rc when we made the keypin
failure message really long.
Backport from 0.3.2's 771fb7e7ba,
where arma said "get rid of the scary 256-byte-buf landmine".
Directory servers now include a "Date:" http header for response
codes other than 200. Clients starting with a skewed clock and a
recent consensus were getting "304 Not modified" responses from
directory authorities, so without a Date header the client would
never hear about a wrong clock.
Fixes bug 23499; bugfix on 0.0.8rc1.
This change refactors find_dl_schedule() to only call dependent functions
as needed. In particular, directory_fetches_from_authorities() only needs
to be called on clients.
Stopping spurious directory_fetches_from_authorities() calls on every
download on public relays has the following impacts:
* fewer address resolution attempts, particularly those mentioned in 21789
* fewer descriptor rebuilds
* fewer log messages, particularly those limited in 20610
Fixes 23470 in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
The original bug was introduced in commit 35bbf2e as part of prop210.
But when clients are just starting, make them try each bridge a few times
before giving up on it.
These changes make the bridge download schedules more explicit: before
17750, they relied on undocumented behaviour and specific schedule
entries. (And between 17750 and this fix, they were broken.)
Fixes 23347, not in any released version of tor.
The download schedule tells Tor to wait 15 minutes before downloading
bridge descriptors. But 17750 made Tor ignore that and start immediately.
Since we fixed 17750, Tor waits 15 minutes for bridge client bootstrap,
like the schedule says.
This fixes the download schedule to start immediately, and to try each
bridge 3 times in the first 30 seconds. This should make bridge bootstraps
more reliable.
Fixes 23347.
Our convention is that functions which manipulate a type T should be
named T_foo. But the buffer functions were super old, and followed
all kinds of conventions. Now they're uniform.
Here's the perl I used to do this:

Needed by the client when fetching a descriptor. This function checks the
directory purpose and hard assert if it is not for fetching.

When a descriptor fetch has completed and it has been successfully stored in
the client cache, this callback will take appropriate actions to attach
streams and/or launch neede circuits to connect to the service.

- Add tests that ensure that SOCKS requests for v2/v3 addresses get
intercepted and handled.
- Add test that stores and lookups an HS descriptor in the client-side cache.

Once a descriptor has been successfully downloaded from an HSDir, we flag the
directory connection to "has fetched descriptor" so the connection subsystem
doesn't trigger a new fetch on success.
Same has DIR_PURPOSE_HAS_FETCHED_RENDDESC_V2 but for prop224.

I repurposed the old directory_request_set_hs_ident() into a new
directory_request_upload_set_hs_ident() which is only used for the
upload purpose and so it can assert on the dir_purpose.
When coding the client-side we can make a second function for fetch.
This commit adds a directory command function to make an upload directory
request for a service descriptor.
It is not used yet, just the groundwork.
