[tor-bugs] #2729 [Vidalia]: Invalid Nodes are not described when used in a circuit



#2729: Invalid Nodes are not described when used in a circuit

 Priority:  minor    |      Milestone:        
Component:  Vidalia  |        Version:

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Migrated from old trac:
 "In Vidalia 0.1.4, part of the Tor Bundle 0.2.0.28-rc on Windows XP Home
 Edition, if "AllowInvalidNodes?" options are set, and such a node is used
 in a circuit, Vidalia will display the circuit in the Tor Network Map
 window.

 Previously (0.1.3), when a circuit with an invalid node is clicked on,
 information on all the nodes, even if only to state that a node was
 Offline, would appear to the right of the circuit list.

 However, in the current version (0.1.4), if a circuit with an invalid node
 is clicked on, Vidalia will ignore the invalid node, displaying
 information only on valid nodes. This can lead to, for example, a circuit
 clearly showing three nodes, with only two of the nodes described on the
 right.

 While it may be reasonable to remove invalid/offline nodes from the list
 on the left side of the Tor Network Map, if such a node is used in a
 circuit, Vidalia should still display the network's opinion as to if the
 node is valid or not, and where the node's geographic location is."

 I'm not sure if this is still valid though.
