#25551: host_name field does not match spec -----------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: cypherpunks | Owner: irl Type: defect | Status: accepted Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Metrics/Onionoo | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: -----------------------------+--------------------------
Comment (by irl): Either we should detect cases where a lookup failed and actually omit the field, or make clear that an IP address will be returned in the event the lookup fails. I agree that currently we do not implement what we said we implement in the spec. cypherpunks: As you've raised the issue, do you have a preference on what we do to fix it? I think I would like to have two fields: "unverified_host_name" and "host_name". If the forward lookup fails but we did look up a reverse record then we put that in "unverified_host_name". If everything works we put it in "hostname" and if no reverse record is found we omit both fields. This would be similar to the way we split up alleged family and effective family where we still report values even if they cannot be confirmed (and can use this information to tell the relay operator how to improve their configuration). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25551#comment:3> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
