Comment:
Yup. The trouble is that tor only provides methods for 'give me the
descriptor I've downloaded about relay x'. It doesn't offer a method to
get the descriptor *we* published.
As such if we haven't received a descriptor about ourselves then this
query fails. This is most often an issue for newly started relays since
they won't be part of a consensus for up to an hour.
Imho it would be nice if tor provided controller methods for...
* give me my self-published server descriptor
* give me my self-published extra-info descriptor
* give me my self-published microdescriptor
This won't be possible for router status entries (the get_network_status()
method), but for all the rest tor should be capable of telling us the
descriptor we ourselves are publishing.
Sending this over to Nick for his thoughts.
