[tor-dev] channel_t to IP Address

2014-07-24 Thread Gareth Owen
Hi all Quick question, how does one turn channel_t into an IP address, e.g. given a circuit_t how do I get the IP address of the previous and next hop (noting that they might not be in the consensus so I cant use the identity hash). I can see the information is in the connection_t struct but I

Nima Fatemi n...@riseup.net: I think bridges works just fine for vanilla bridges and I want to take the opportunity to +1 Philipp's idea on looking for keywords instead of commands, regardless of how they're phrased. Help desk frequently sees bridge keywords in other (supported/unsupported)

Hi. I support what Philipp and Nima say about keywords. The given commands surely look simple for technical users, but what about non-technical users? If the purpose of the distributor is to give info, and you're already filtering emails to *try* to avoid fake requests (correct if i'm wrong),
