 Fri 23:53:03 <weasel> does tor restart obfsproxy when it notices it has
 changed?
 Fri 23:55:10 <armadev> very unlikely
 Fri 23:55:14 <armadev> define 'changed'?
 Fri 23:55:24 <weasel> inode or mtime changed.
 Fri 23:55:30 <armadev> ah. definitely no.
 Fri 23:55:35 <armadev> please file a ticket?
 Fri 23:55:37 <weasel> I think it should.
 Fri 23:55:39 <weasel> wilco
 Fri 23:55:50 <armadev> how often should it check inode or mtime?
 Fri 23:56:38 <weasel> the other options is that obfsproxy should check if
 it has changed
 Fri 23:57:18 <weasel> ideally no matter how it's done it wouldn't affect
 existing connections
 Fri 23:57:37 <armadev> the connections go through obfsproxy
 Fri 23:57:46 <armadev> so you want the old one to stay alive, even though
 the new one is in use
 Fri 23:59:01 <weasel> yes
