Comment(by aagbsn):
asn and I chatted on IRC, and here's what we discussed:
* There is no reachability test in the bridge-authority that tests obfs
yet (src/or/dirspec.c)
* Extend the PT (Pluggable Transport) spec to include a reachability-test
requirement
* PT addresses may be different than or-address or the bridge default
address.
* the extra-info descriptor line transport line for obfs3 looks like:
"transport obfs3 21.43.65.87:9021"
What we proposed:
* In the interim (June 15): BridgeDB should read transport lines from
extra-info document; if a bridge has the 'running' flag and published
pluggable transports then BridgeDB will publish them in its response.
* In the short term (???): bridge-authority should do reachability testing
of PTs, and include the reachable PTs in the networkstatus, similar to
ln5's #5534
* asn will look into reachability test ideas
