Description (last modified by edmanm) (diff)

[Copied from arma's email]

Right now if a bridge user opens their network map, Vidalia does a geoip lookup on his bridge addresses. This creates a central target that doesn't need to be a target. As of Tor r12919, you can getinfo desc-annotations/id/hexdigest and it'll answer something like

  250+desc-annotations/id/FFCB46DB1339DA84674C70D7CB586434C4370441=

  @source "87.19.216.57"
  .
  250 OK

If it answers

  @purpose bridge

or really if it mentions any sort of purpose, then it might be best to avoid doing the lookup on it.
