I recently completed a feature in tork that utilises the bandwidth history. I
dug a bit more into how i would use the 'extra-info' option to retrieve the
bandwidth history in future and have a couple of notes/questions:
There's currently no way of getting extra-info for just one descriptor from
the control interface. Tor either downloads extra-info for all descriptors or
none at all. What would be the best way of making extra-info available on
demand from the control interface?
Should tor download extra-info for a router if it receives a getinfo
server/desc/fd/xxx for that router, in anticipation of a possible extra-info
request?
Or would a setevents extra-info interface be better? If enabled, this would
provide an asychronous extra-info message body for every server/desc/fd
request received.
Also, there are a couple of typos in control.c, one of which prevents getinfo
extra-info/digest from working.
