Comment(by torwarrior):
Replying to [comment:1 phobos]:
> What do you mean by this ticket? Tor locates servers by their IP
address. If the included geoip database doesn't include a mapping for IP
to country, we can't do anything about it.
The issue seems to be that some tor-nodes can choose to identify
themselves with a physical location. I believe there is an option for a
city and country (as evidenced by the Vidalia-GUI). Perhaps this is a
function of running a tor-server via Vidalia-GUI, I do not know because I
have not read the entire specs for tor. If tor does facilitate the header-
data (I'm guessing...) for country/location, then there had been a
malfunction in the transceiving of this data.
Thanks for the attention and the reply.
