#5475: Vidalia torrc editor is confused by # comments
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: schoen | Owner: chiiph
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Vidalia | Version: Vidalia: 0.2.15
Keywords: torrc comment | Parent:
Points: | Actualpoints:
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
If you use Vidalia to edit any torrc (including a pre-existing default
torrc) that contains a hash-introduced comment on the same line with an
option setting, like
SocksPort 9050 # this is the port that applications connect on
then you get an error like
Unacceptable option value: Int keyword 'SocksPort 9050 # this is the port
that applications connect on' is malformed or out of bounds.
because Vidalia tried to validate the torrc and didn't realize that the
comment was a comment. However, this doesn't seem to confuse Tor itself,
so there's a gap between Vidalia's notion of torrc syntax and Tor's
notion.
