Comment (by arma):
One option that comes to mind is that when we learn the fingerprint as we
connect to the bridge, inside learned_router_identity(), we could emit a
controller event. Then controllers that are listening could annotate their
internal state of our bridges on their own, when they see the event. I
believe we don't have any event like that currently though. And this idea
wouldn't by itself be enough, because controllers only hear controller
events when they're already connected, so we would want some way for the
controller to ask for the current state.
I found "getinfo ns/purpose/bridge", which asks Tor to fabricate a status
entry like one would find in the consensus, for each of its current
bridges:
{{{
getinfo ns/purpose/bridge
250+ns/purpose/bridge=
r badabim GUj+xxxxxxxxRWt9ucLTfvtyUME lsA8xxxxxxxxB1DIMFPusxQIZsk
2019-10-19 04:30:28 x.y.153.221 9001 0
s Running V2Dir
w Bandwidth=1215
p reject 1-65535
.
250 OK
}}}
This is essentially how the bridge authority makes a faux networkstatus
document for all the bridges it knows (for export to bridgedb). So we
could tell controllers, if they have a relay id and they can't find it in
getconf bridge and they can't find it in getinfo ns/id/, to ask for
getinfo ns/purpose/bridge and crawl through those results.
Is that our best available option? Is there some better way we should
expose this info?
