#31719: obfs4proxy should be more helpful if state file is empty -------------------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: phw | Owner: (none) Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: Circumvention/Obfs4 | Version: Severity: Minor | Keywords: ux Actual Points: | Parent ID: #30471 Points: 0.5 | Reviewer: Sponsor: | -------------------------------------+-------------------- We had a user on IRC who ran into the following error message: {{{ [warn] Server managed proxy encountered a method error. (obfs4 failed to load statefile '/var/db/tor/pt_state/obfs4_state.json': unexpected end of JSON input) }}} It turns out that the user's state file was empty. Removing the state file and then having obfs4proxy re-create it fixed the problem. Obfs4proxy should realise that the state file is empty (was opposed to corrupt) and either re-create it itself or advise the user to delete it and try again.
