Let's look at the code together in valencia? 13:42:00 i do post already, by pretending the log is on a dir port 13:42:13 sure 13:42:41 i started trying to figure out how a client builds a circuit to a hs 13:42:49 but got lost 13:43:23 anyway, that's about it for me 13:43:24 So, in theory this should be workable by creating an entry connection that looks like a client's entry connection to a hidden service, but which is linked to a directory client connection... 13:44:38 ln5: /wn go dgoulet 13:45:07 err, i meant, ln5: dgoulet has a script that will turn a fp into informative info from consensus 13:45:16 nickm: "directory client" is not a very common term in the tor source code 13:45:19 ln5: but I'm not sure what you are looking for in the 'r' line 13:45:26 directory connection, client-type 13:45:39 * micah stepped into a meeting, sorry *runs away* 13:45:42 dgoulet: asn_: athena: mikeperry: isis: I bet everybody else is aleep or away? 13:45:48 micah: you are always welcome at our meetings! 13:46:19 thanks nickm! I just should stay on topic and not just blurt out things in the middle! 13:47:32 okay, so, I think we're kinda low on discussion for this week. 13:47:55 no online dev meetings next week: too many people will be traveling or meeting. 13:48:01 any discussion topics? 13:48:38 going once! 13:48:57 oi 13:49:55 hi isabela ! It's just me and you and ln5 at this week's meeting. 13:49:56 nickm: ah, dir_connection_t. i'll see if i can get around finding out how to get this working. thanks. 13:50:05 look for phrases like "linked" 13:50:13 isabela: anything the three of us should talk about at the meeting? 13:50:15 this meeting? 13:50:19 micah: he could put that in tor/contrib/ i guess 13:50:37 nickm: dont forget about me 13:50:38 :) 13:52:13 (I thought you thought you were interrupting!) 13:52:13 going twice! 13:52:26 nickm: I thought todays meeting wasn't going to happen :) 13:52:36 I showed up in case it did. :) 13:52:50 next week's online meeting definitely won't. 13:52:55 #endmeeting
