Historical netdoc Items

Historical Server Descriptor Items

These items once appeared in server descriptors

Items are listed in approximate reverse order of withdrawal, oldest last.

protocols

   "protocols" SP "Link" SP LINK-VERSION-LIST SP "Circuit" SP
          CIRCUIT-VERSION-LIST NL

       [At most once.]

An obsolete list of protocol versions, superseded by the “proto” entry. This list was never parsed, and has not been emitted since Tor 0.2.9.4-alpha. New code should neither generate nor parse this line.

read-history, write-history

    "read-history" DateWsTime (NSEC s) NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM... NL
        [At most once]
    "write-history" DateWsTime (NSEC s) NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM,NUM... NL
        [At most once]

(These fields once appeared in router descriptors, but have appeared in extra-info descriptors since 0.2.0.x.)

eventdns — Declare support for non-obsolete DNS logic

“eventdns” bool NL

[At most once]

Declare whether this version of Tor is using the newer enhanced dns logic. Versions of Tor with this field set to false SHOULD NOT be used for reverse hostname lookups.

This option is obsolete. All Tor current relays should be presumed to have the evdns backend.
