Publishing the signed consensus
Note that the URLs here have variants ending in ā.zā.
The voting period ends at the valid-after time. If the consensus has been signed by a majority of authorities, these documents are made available at
http://<hostname>/tor/status-vote/current/consensus
and
http://<hostname>/tor/status-vote/current/consensus-signatures
[XXX current/consensus-signatures is not currently implemented, as it
is not used in the voting protocol.]
[XXX possible future features include support for downloading old
consensuses.]
The other vote documents are analogously made available under
http://<hostname>/tor/status-vote/current/authority
http://<hostname>/tor/status-vote/current/<fp>
http://<hostname>/tor/status-vote/current/d/<d>
http://<hostname>/tor/status-vote/current/bandwidth
once the voting period ends, regardless of the number of signatures.
The authorities serve another consensus of each flavor āFā from the locations
/tor/status-vote/(current|next)/consensus-F. and
/tor/status-vote/(current|next)/consensus-F/<FP1>+....
The standard URLs for bandwidth list files first-appeared in Tor 0.3.5.
